This odd phase some may have run across in pop culture. Has it's origins in a 1950's sci-fi film now considered a classic. "Michael Rene was ill the Day the Earth Stood still, but he told us where we stand"...

Klaatu barada nikto - from the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still. It is used to instruct the robot Gort to spare humanity. I find made up languages used in sci-fi or fantasy interesting, which sometimes have basis in real ones. Something you enjoy?

Return of the Jedi - many of the minor characters in the Star Wars franchise have names. Some coined by those who created them, others thru role playing games, toys. Klaatu, Barada and Nikto are skiff guards for Jabba the Hutt's Sail Barge. Would you like to own some sort of hover craft?

Army of Darkness - third in Sam Raimi's Evil Dead trilogy. Bit different in that "klaatu, (V)arada, nikto" are to be spoken by Ash before picking up The Book of the Dead, (Necronomicon) but in reference to. He messes it up. Do you enjoy comedy horror type movies or shows?
