By the way,

did you know that YouTube was actually a Klingon invention?

Its correct name is {'Iwtob}, meaning "prove blood". This originally comes from the idea of "proving your courage", like "showing how strong your blood is". Blood has a strong meaning for Klingons.
There are some famous proverbs:

  {bomDI' 'Iwtob qaqaw}
  "My memory of you sings in youtube"

  {'Iwtob ghogh yIQoy}
  "Listen to the voice of youtube"

  {bIrchugh qIvon tuj 'Iwtob}
  "If the kivon is cold, youtube is hot"

Okay, okay, I'm just making this all up... ;-P

jIqID neH!

Quvar.
