Human butts are too…fragile.

When in Rome, Mr. Worf.
When where, sir?
Worf: “I am told I was raised on Earth.”
Worf’s parents were the super-sheltering homeschool types.
They were “teddy bear with fangs” people, not cat people.
Wasn’t there a bit of backfilling lore that Earth’s feline population died as a side effect of an biological weapon released during the eugenics wars? They couldn’t bring back the genus because of the ban on genetic engineering. That’s why Worf didn’t know the word. …that would make Spot the rarest animal in the galaxy. Or he’s not a domestic cat at all…
Îf I know what a woolly mammoth is, he should know what a cat is.
Excellent point, but you’re a Lemming, you’re highly literate. Federation Standard might be his second language, I speak a decent amount of Spanish and I don’t know the Spanish word for “woolly mammoth”. 🐂
I just spent a while thinking how to say “woolly mammoth” in my second language, only to realise it’s “woolly mammoth”. English is my second language.
Hi there, slightly off topic, but speaking of translators, I recently saw the Discovery ep. where the translator is broken and I realized not everyone on the ship speaks Federation Standard. And now I can’t stop imagining Picard speaking French the whole time on TNG.
Or everyone using native regional accents instead of Received Pronunciation…it would be glorious chaos, worthy of a season closer/opener two parter…“Dorme vous…Data…dorme vous.”
Now I’m imagining that Scotty’s accent is the best the universal translator can manage to do with what’s actually a stream of incomprehensible Scottish gibberish.
Oh, I like that. That’s fully in my head-canon, now. Scotty is blasting out waves of full-on Scots lingo, and the computer is barely able to chew through it.
He carries around a universal translator
Well, this motherfucker DID switch sexes, turn into an iguana, and suspiciously look like four or five very different orange cats, over the years. So, ya know, you might be onto something.
He’s either a spy for Q or…he’s a Tribble with legs and has another Tribble superglued to his butt.
I’m all for people being highly pedantic on a forum designed for that type of stuff but common guys, this was just shallow writing for a quick plot point or lazy comic relief.
Well, yeaaahh, but the point is having fun with all of the above. Doesn’t cost ya no latinum. In the words of an ancient pre-warp cultural documentary, “Don’t Be a Hater While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood”.
It wasn’t lazy comic relief, it was a scene that was good enough to stand out in our memories.
That’s a cat? And it is meant to be a pet? That you keep alive?
I thought that was live food meant for eating. Those things are delicious!

In fairness Spot was a week known menace to everyone but Data. Although I suspect a Vulcan would probably have been fine. As for cats, I believe that even a targ would likely avoid picking a fight with a cat.
Antarctica maybe? Surely not Aoshima, Japan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aoshima%2C_Ehime?wprov=sfla1
