  Not to be too pedantic, the modern Greek chi is a voiceless velar fricative (or in some cases a voiceless palatal fricative) rather than uvular. The velar location is the same place English pronounces the letter k, uvular is a bit further back, more like the French r. It’s a little confusing because the IPA uses the chi symbol for the voiceless uvular fricative even though Greek doesn’t pronounce it that way. In Klingon, the voiceless velar fricative is written as H (I believe gh is a voiced velar fricative rather than uvular as well). I think the uvular consonants are q and Q. Apologies if my pedantry was unwelcome

  Same here. I started doing it as a silly thing to tease/bug my girlfriend but now it’s become a permanent part of my personality. I will now only say “jadies and lentlemen”, and I did it so frequently that she says it too.
