Most people can probably even provide tidbits like the “live long and prosper” wish, or even perform the salute. Star Trek, in particular the Original Series, is recognizable around the world, and one of the reasons is the indelible canon alien species. Klingons are almost as well-known, although their devotion to honor is more of a TNG bit of canon and, as such, isn’t quite as well-known globally....
