Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, August 03, 2019 Klingon word: ghup Part of speech: verb Definition: swallow _______________________________________________ (KGT 89): Klingons typically gnaw ({choptaH} - literally, "continue biting") on the nut until it cracks open, and then they spit out ({tlhIS}) the pieces of shell (occasionally at a nearby diner, as a gesture of sociability) before chewing and swallowing the rest. Similarly, they will usually gnaw on the hard pit of some fruits … until it can be chewed and swallowed, but it is not considered out of place to treat the pit as a shell and spit out the pieces. (KGT 100): Klingons tend to eat quickly, taking rather large amounts of food into their mouths and swallowing in big gulps.
