I first I had the idea to extend the meaning and "misuse" the word, but
now I just read in KGT that doing exactly this is not allowed:
"A Klingon female would address someone as {maqoch} only if she intended
to insult him or her. [...] A male Klingon would address a female
Klingon as {chaj} only to offend her." (KGT)
On the previous page, it is suggested to use {jupna'} for close friends,
"real friend, good friend".
Using {-oy} on {jup} sounds wrong. Usually, only children use it, and
romantic partners use it in the {bang pong}.

I always thought that you are really going online at the same time... (?)
