"I'm with him."
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was given its first theatrical release on June 1, 1984, thirty years ago. This means that the audience was exposed to recognisable Okrandian tlhIngan Hol for the first time.
"I'm just updating my status."
"Not another food post?"
"No, they've asked me to stop posting those for some reason."
"Kids, if you two don't stop arguing, we're turning this thing around and going straight back home!"
"My translator app's frozen while it performs an automatic update."
Selfies, Klingon style
"What did I tell you about running in the corridors with sharp objects?"
"What do you think?"
"It's so you."
That awkward moment when you turn up at the party and Commander Kang is sporting one just like yours ...
