stares and cuts off the call.

[121] Me: "bangwI', if a Klingon had a bad headache, what metaphor do 
you think she'd use?"
Him: "I guess you don't know the Klingon for freight train, do you?"
Me: "Well, actually ..."

[123] I've been avoiding using wa'leS to mean "the next day" because 
that's not what it means, so how can I use all these fabulous time 
delay words to describe time in storytelling? What do you think of
