[Tlhingan-hol] payback is a bitch

[lojmIttI'wI'nuv]

This is a really bad translation for so many reasons…

It’s culturally wrong. It takes the perspective of the victim of revenge rather than the victor, which is not very Klingon, and it includes a completely inappropriate gender association. This is not how Klingons think about females of any species.

The classic cold dish is better all around. It is cold for the victor. It is cold for the victim. One puts aside emotion and simply does the business of bringing balance to the universe through justice, enacted by the most appropriate party.

It says, “You earned this, and *I* will deliver it."
