Klingon Word of the Day for Thursday, March 14, 2019 Klingon word: Suy' Part of speech: noun Definition: *shooy*, type of animal Source: KGT This Klingon Word of the Day is brought to you by qurgh (qurgh@kli.org).
Klingon word: Suy' Part of speech: noun Definition: *shooy*, type of animal Source: KGT _______________________________________________ Suy' SoH You are a *shooy*. (KGT ) (KGT 196): Calling someone a {Suy'} is quite derogatory, comparable to using the word "pig" in Federation Standard. Mistakenly calling someone a {Suy} (merchant) when the intent is to be insulting and call him or her a {Suy'} will have the effect of making the speaker appear to be foolish and, therefore, weak and hardly in a position to be ridiculing someone else. PUN: "suet" or "soo-eey!" (the classic pig-call in English) "Speak Klingon boldly; do not be meek or hesitant." (CK) But enunciate clearly! -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
I can see where you should be very careful to enunciate, if you want to respectfully acknowledge someone as major vendor, responsible for fulfillment of substantial bulk purchases on the wholesale level. charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.
