Actually, you should know or see which sources to trust.
The only true result gives you a page with hundreds of languages and 
claims to have "native" klingon speakers. (well, actually, we know most 
of these). I'm not sure how much to trust this.

You don't find it in boQwI'.
You don't find it in the klingon dictionary.
You don't find it in klingonska.org.
You don't find it in kli.org's new word list.
You don't find it in qepHom.de's new word list.
You don't find it in KAG Hol 'ampaS.
You don't find it in the KLI's wiki.
You don't find it in Memory Alpha.
You don't find it in Memory Beta.
You don't find it in GerDic Dictionary.
You don't find it in mu'ghom.Wikia.
You don't find it in Glosbe.com dictionary.

If you have difficulties finding a word in the web, there must be a 
reason for this. For instance, note the Wikipedia policy: They 
explicitely do NOT set up pages for incorrectly spelled words, just to 
make clear for the user that the word is just not existing. Only very 
frequent misspellings are shown ("Diphtong" forwards to "Diphthong", but 
"diftong" does not give an answer), but if the word does not exist in 
proper english (or proper Klingon), it's just not listed.

What I want to say is that one should not spread fake words, which 
people will learn, then use, and then Okrand must vet them because they 
have become common slang terms. We don't want to have a day when people 
say that Okrand created a klingon word for asshole which is tlhoqo'. 
It's a negative image for both Okrand and for Kloko.

See what happened with "qaqItlhneS"!
Search for it to find out.
