Coyote Fugly

I need to translate "You are fugly" into klingon.  Can someone help me out?  thx.

What does "fugly" mean?

[Klythe]

   From what I have heard of Terran street culture....  I believe that it is a contraction between an epithet that starts with an 'f' and "ugly".   

Correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding of the terran phrase, as te'reS will correct me if I err on the translation.  Of course any number of various forms of invective could be used, none more 'accurate' than any other.






Klingon epithets don't work the same way Terrans do.  Klingon cursing is so overwhelmingly powerful that  a proper Klingon curse just doesn't translate back into English.






If you need to translate this phrase, You'll need to buy the revised Klingon Dictionary and study it.







If you would like us to translate it, however it is fairly trivial.








Stop reading if you wish to translate this yourself.









You are f' ugly.
you-none  are-ugly  very epithet 
bI             moH     qu'        jay'
Pronounced roughly like  "Bih  Moch koo.  jye."   that is   Bit without the t, Mocha without the a, and if you can manage the ch should sound more like it does in Bach or Loch Ness, koo only don't glide the ending, cut it of sharply, same with the last word, like you are saying jive, but got something caught in your throat.   As opposed to the first two words Bih and Moch would sound more like you just forgot what comes next.

Never mind, I checked my Urban Dictionary.

bImoHqu' jay'!

bI- "you (subject)"
moH "ugly" (pronounce "mokh")
-qu' "very"
jay' "@#$^&"

Correct me if I'm wrong in my understanding of the terran phrase, as te'reS will correct me if I err on the translation. 

I make it a policy never to correct another's Klingon unless they have specifically asked for feedback.

     What if I were to instead demand that you correct my Klingon when it is wrong?   (which is frightfully often...)

[ter'eS]

Be careful what you wish for...
