Conversational Klingon:
Remember, the Klingon culture is a very direct one and most of the
time the social niceties of Terrans are considered just superfluous.
Unlike other peoples, Klingons do not use everyday expressions such
as please, excuse me, thank you, and the like. In dealing with
Klingons, just state your business: no more, and no less.
This is not to say that Klingons never thank anyone; it's just not an
"everyday expression."
