Slang use of nouns as verbs
Out of curiosity.. Two young klingons walk on Qo'noS, while all of a sudden a new bird of prey decloaks above them. So, one of them impressed, takes out his phone, and says: {va! 'IHqu'! toQDujvam chu' vI*instagram*nISbej!} Would the other understand ? I wonder.. ~ mayqel qunen'oS

Understand? Sure. How common it is to do this sort of thing in any given Klingon subculture is another matter which we have little information on. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

Would the other understand ? I wonder.. This is not a question of grammar, but one of culture. You could ask the same for English or any other language. The answers might be different, depending on if the person knows about instagram or not. -- Lieven L.
