Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, May 07, 2023 Klingon word: 'eDjen Part of speech: noun Definition: an arrogant or haughty person Source: HQ:v12n3p9 _______________________________________________ (HQ 12.3:9): The notion of "too big for one's britches" (be too haughty or arrogant for one's status) as well as that of "commit hubris" (be presumptuous or arrogant) might best be rendered in Klingon not by {HoQ} but by {nguq} "be arrogant, haughty, conceited" an undesirable trait. To be {Hem} "proud", however, is quite admirable and does not carry any connotations of arrogance as the Federation Standard words "proud" and "pride" sometimes do. The noun {'eDjen} refers to a person who is arrogant or haughty. PUN: someone Okrand knows?
