Do Klingons suffer from this or only Rudellians (whoever they are)?

I've never seen this sentence before.  Is it from the Monopoly cards?  Woul=
d you share more of these (off-list if you prefer)?  Some new vocabulary, p=
hrases and extensions:

{rop'a'}  "plague" (n)

A logical coining, which I've seen informally on the list.

{qarDaSQa'} "Cardassian Union".  =


We've seen {Qa'} - a political union? - before in {yuQjIjQa'} "United Feder=
ation of Planets" and recently in {'amerI'qa' SepjIjQa'} "United States of =
America" (TalkNow) and {tuqjIjQa'} "United Kingdom" (TalkNow).  =


{Hergh qengbogh yo'} "(medical) relief convoy"

{qengbogh yo'}       "convoy"

{bot} "intercept".  =


An extension to its previous meanings of "prevent, block".
