> [@yendis](#): > > PtaQ! If you meant “petaQ”, that’s not a curse, it’s an epithet, something you call someone as an insult, like “Learn how to spell Klingon, you petaQ!” (_pIqaD DaghItlh ‘e’ yIghoj, petaQ_!) My favorite Klingon curse is “Qu’vatlh!”. If you say the initial and final phonemes correctly, you will sound really upset no matter what tone of voice you use. ---
