FYI the Klingon wiki has a list of idioms: https://www.kli.org/wiki/idiom but it's not complete. For exemple, it doesn't include {wa'maH wej} or {wa' wa' wa'} (which were new to me). --Voragh

Found a few more:
'IwwIj jeD law' 'IwlIj jeD puS I am much stronger than you (PK)
jISum I am in touch with my inner self (a philosophical statement) (HolQeD 7:4)
Soj matter, concern, affair (HolQeD 12:3, but maybe earlier?)

The article that introduces finger words is kind of a goldmine.
Not sure if <jIr!> ("Whoop-dee-doo!") would qualify as an idiom.

I'm updating my personal dictionary and touching up the section for idioms, which I never gave the attention it needed. I'm wondering if I've got them all.
There are all the idioms in KGT, then there are the following from newsgroup posts/HolQeD articles:
'arlogh Qoylu'pu' pumDI' tIngvo' 'evDaq chanDaq
Are there any other known idioms I missed?
