GORNOUF TO ENGLISH DICTIONARY, PAGE ONE:
CONTEXTUAL CLUES IN CULTURAL CONNOTATION:


(exerpt)
Using contextual connotation, the word “Oiiaass” is translated by Universal Translators as “weak” but has applicable connotation to “stupid”, “dishonorable”, “lying”, or even “uncreative”.
In the same token, the word “Ghargh” is translated as “strong” but has connotations of “smart”, “honorable”, “honest”, or “artistic”.


So in other words, Gorn can regard a whole race of artists as "Ghargh", but if there's a race of con artists, they are definitely "Oiiaass". So when I say "The Weak Must Be Defeated" I mean that "The Evil Must Be Defeated". It's a matter of interpretation.

So everyone back off the Gorn Religion. It's not all bullshit.
