Not to be confused with a {pogh tawleHnu’}, which is merely the presumed perspective of a lost glove (the glove’s hopeless situation, assuming that a glove hopes to fulfill its role, covering a hand).
It’s not a commonly used term, except as an idiom that has thus far eluded translation.
Those who use it seem to also use {ratlhbogh pogh mob} as an alternative, similar to the use of {megh'an} and {‘er’In}.
Also, neither of these terms are EVER used in the presence of a SuvwI’ who has lost a hand in battle…
… except by an elite group of one-handed Klingon stand-up comics...
