• The Klingon word for "fork" is puq chonnaQ. [...] The term puq chonnaQ is, at least in origin, somewhat derisive. It literally means child's hunting spear, suggesting that the eating implement is small and not very effective (though the actual child's spear, as opposed to the fork, is useful for training in the art of hunting).
