The Top 8 Reasons the Klingon
Language Is Better Than French
Language Is Better Than French
8> French may be the language for romance, but chicks really dig the he-man who can master Kli– hee-heeee… who can *sneee!*… wait a minute, I *can* get through this with a straight face!
7> The French Language Institute rejects loan words from other languages. The Klingon Language Institute claims useful words in the name of the Empire.
6> Klingon love poetry leads to the same thing as French love poetry, except harder and faster, and with more screaming.
5> The Klingon language has no “accent circonflexe.”
4> When describing Jerry Lewis, the French use a word that roughly translates to “genius.” The same word translated into Klingon and then back to English means “delicious.”
3> They don’t use it much, but at least the Klingon language *has* a word for hygiene.
2> One is spoken by a bunch of arrogant, pathetic losers who like to pretend they have a mighty military tradition, the other is from a TV show.
and the Number 1 Reason the Klingon Language Is Better Than
French…
French…
1> The Klingon language doesn’t sugarcoat food names — if it’s the rotting liver of a cholesterol-challenged duck, that’s what we call it.
