Someone sent a bit of Internet Humour™ to a mailing list I'm on, featuring The top 16 things likely to be overheard if you had Klingon technical writers working on your documentation team".

Number six on the list was:
6. This version of Word is a piece of GAGH! I need the latest version of Framemaker if I am to do battle with this manual.


I responded that, since gagh was food, and considered a delicacy by Klingons, this phrase made no sense.

But I can't believe I actually started an e-mail with the sentence "A Klingon wouldn't say that."

Counterpoint: Just because they eat it doesn't mean they necessarily LIKE it.

Or, considering the consistency of Gagh, maybe they were making a joke about MS "Spaghetti Code"

It's spaghetti code that's full of bugs and won't stand still.
