It's acceptable as US slang.
For example, when a basketball player is hitting every shot, that is, he gets passed the ball, and he catches, shots and scores in one motion the commentator will say: "He's unconcious!" meaning he is making every shot he tries without even trying or thinking about it. |

It is unfortunate that the terrangpu have lost this philosophy from active practise. But I just wanted to share some of the findings and the similarities to our own superior klingon culture.
* 義 – Gi – Rectitude
* 勇 – Yū – Courage
* 仁 – Jin – Benevolence
* 礼 – Rei – Respect
* 誠 – Makoto or 信 - Shin– Honesty
* 名誉 – Meiyo – Honor,Glory
* 忠義 – Chūgi – Loyalty
-Translations from: Random House's Japanese-English, English-Japanese Dictionary
Others that are sometimes added to these:
* 忠 - Chū - Preservation of ethics
* 孝 - Kō - Filial piety
* 智 - Chi - Wisdom
* 悌 - Tei - Care for the aged
I took out the expectations of some of the less transparent definitions.
Definitions of these terms:
rectitude
1. Honor
2. Moral righteousness
Benevolence characterizes the true goodness of the mind, the unbiased kindness to do good. It confers thought and regard for the welfare of other people, and finds expression in sympathy and kindly gentleness and compassion, with charitableness and kindness.
Those who lack benevolence have little, if any, thought or regard for others, and a tendency to help oneself, in neglect of others.
Filial piety
In Confucian and Buddhist thought, filial piety (Chinese:孝 ; Mandarin: Xiào; Cantonese: Haau) is one of the virtues to be cultivated: a love and respect for one's parents and ancestors.
In general terms, filial piety means to take care of one's parents; not be rebellious; show love, respect and support; display courtesy; ensure male heirs; uphold fraternity among brothers; wisely advise one's parents; conceal their mistakes; display sorrow for their sickness and death; and carry out sacrifices after their death.
Filial piety is considered as first virtue among Chinese people, and a large number of stories are about it. The most famous one is The Twenty-four Filial Exemplars (二十四孝). Twenty-four story depicts how children exercised their filial piety in the past. While China has always had a diversity of religious beliefs, fillial piety was common to almost all of them. Hugh D. R. Baker has referred to respect for the family as the only element common to almost all Chinese believers.[1] In the Han Dynasty, and other eras, traditions such as ancestor worship were also sometimes enforced by law upon all of the emperor’s subjects. With those who did not obey being subject to corporal punishment.
