    According to a prelim script for that episode the Klingon Insult means...

    "Does your mother let you talk to adult men ?"

    But that could of changed in later scripts

    “Does anyone remember when we used to be explorers...”

    That had me in stitches :D. I wonder how they got it past censors, is it not used in the US?
    Only when imitating a cockney accent. I don't think Americans generally consider it to be a dirty word, it's just a funny British word. Like shagging. Besides, balls and many other colloquialisms for testicles are no longer considered dirty words by most in the US. George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words You Can Never Say on Television from 1972 was based on an earlier list of eight dirty words; Carlin dropped the word balls.

    Like the actor who portrayed Harry Kim on Voyager. :o

    I know this is not Star Trek but the actor who does Miles O'Brain starred in this film called Con Air. And he swore after every other word.

    LOL
    Hopefully I'll come back from my break; this break is fun; I play intellectual games.

    I hope STO get's better ...

    I ran into that problem a while ago with my Sci captain, who names all of his ships after sci-fi authors. USS Philp K. **** returned a "profanity is not allowed" error.

    Kind of sounds like the Klingon version of saying that someone lives in their mom's basement.
