Words to Your Mother: Klaatu barada nikto

What to say to a man of few words

"Klaatu barada nikto" is what you would say to Gort if you wanted to stop him from destroying the world.  The precise meaning  if the phrase is unclear, although Klaatu is the guy who said it.  Presumably it means something like "Klaatu says, 'Kindly don't destroy the world'."  Not something you need to say often, but if you ever need to be say it, you'll be glad you knew the phrase.

Okay, that one doesn't count.
