<dd>But do we have...<br>
<dd>- a Klingon word for "idiom"?<br>
<dd>- a Klingon word for "slang"?<br>
<dd>- a Klingon phrase for "Empire Union Day"?<br>
<dd>- an English translation of {QI'lop}?<br>
<dd>- a Klingon word or phrase for "toast" (something you say
when you<br>
<dd>drink in a group)?<br>
<dd>- English or Klingon expression for the kinds of things you say
when<br>
<dd>you reject a suitor (e.g., "I must wash my hair
now")?<br><br>
<dd>I ask because I've been asked to add a "Useful phrases"
section (which<br>
<dd>I've rendered as {mu'tlheghmey lI'}) to my app, and I need English
and<br>
<dd>Klingon names for each of the subcategories.<br><br>
