Nice to hear the Klingons have embraced political correctness.

That sounds very Russian. Many aspects of Klingon culture always have to me. Compare that song to some of the ones from, say, Sergei Eisenstien's 1938 classic propaganda film "Aleksandr Nevsky"...

"Arise you Russian people
in a just battle, in a fight to the death:
arise, you people free and brave
defend our fair native land!"

Except that that song tells the Russians to fight for Russia. Klingons just fight because they like it. :-)

What I posted is definitely the song that Worf and Kor sang. I copied it off of the closed-captioning back when the episode first aired, and I still have it written down.

You're not allowed to speak any artificially constructed language that sounds stupid and which no-one understands. That includes Klingon, Minbari, and French.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

How about Esperanto? "Bonvolu alsendi la pordiston? Lausajne estas rano en mia bideo!"

Political Correctness probably doesnt apply to the Klingon culture, since the concept is purely human.
