[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: Suy'

[Steven Boozer]

> Klingon word:   Suy'
> Part of speech: noun
> Definition:     type of animal, *shooy*

Used in canon:

  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:
"Soo-eey!" (the stereotypical pig-call) or "suet"?
