Klingon word: lajQo' Part of speech: verb Definition: reject Source: KGT _______________________________________________ (KGT 101f.): When taking a table's order, the {jabwI'} [food server] neither writes anything down nor enters data into a computer. It is considered the duty of the {jabwI'} to remember ({qaw}) the choices and to bring the correct food, and servers tend to be quite skilled at this. On the rare occasion when the {jabwI'} has remembered incorrectly ({qawHa'}), the patron may reject ({lajQo'}) the dish. If the patron rejects a dish that the server believes has been properly remembered, however, the misunderstanding could develop into minor combat. For most of the other diners in the restaurant, this is regarded as an exhilarating diversion. SEE: laj accept (v) to'baj 'uS lughoDlu'bogh tIlaj Accept these stuffed tobbaj legs!
