Bringing in Klingon just makes the Taffs look silly.  They can confuse all the rest of us without showing off.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

I recall some radio show, back in the late 90s, doing some skit on "How to speak Gaelic" or some such.  Pretty sure it was of the Welsh variety, but it may have been Irish.  It was wonderfully, hilariously vulgar of course.  But after hearing such creatively astonishing, almost poetic, use of the English language, translated into Gaelic it was even more hilarious.  O0  I almost hit a curb, as I was driving when I heard it.

Tried to find an audio version of it over the years, but no success.
