Trivia

• Tribbles (a small furry alien animal) shriek in the presence of Klingons, as demonstrated in an original series episode. Conversely, Klingons despise the Tribbles as an "ecological menace". (Odo's statement that Worf was "allergic to Tribbles" was probably just a tactful way of smoothing over the situation.) The Klingons went on to exterminate the popular pet throughout the galaxy and into extinction.
• A fanon name for the Klingon homeworld Qo'noS is 'Klinzhai'.
• The larger, ridged forehead Klingons (of the movie era and after) are sometimes unofficially referred to as Imperial Klingons.
• Klingon (tlhIngan Hol) is also the language spoken by the Klingons, created by Marc Okrand. See Klingon language.
• There is also a programming language based on Klingon called var'aq.
• Klingon and Klingonsmith are also last names. Usually seen in Utah.
• In the language Esperanto, the word "Klingo" means "edge" (like that of a knife). When used in a sentence in Esperanto, Klingo can take the -n at the end and become "Klingon", like in the following example: "I am contemplating the edge because of its beauty", which in Esperanto is "Mi kontemplas la klingon pro ties beleco".
