So Clipped Klingon is not eloquent, but it is common and used for quick communication. Don't offer Clipped Klingon when people ask for inscriptions, tattoos, or song lyrics, but do use it when speaking casually.

Although not military situations, one could compare it to "can't" instead of "cannot", and "won't" instead of "will not", or even worse "ain't" instead of "is not".

Contractions are much more acceptable in formal language now than they were, say, a hundred years ago. Clipped Klingon is more like speaking in shorthand.

A: Sup?
B: Nothin'.
A: Busy?
B: Got homework.
A: How much?
B: All night.
A: C'mon, catch a movie.
B: I wish.
