Translation Error

Julian ran into the café and threw himself across Jadzia's table, eyes wild. "Do you speak Ferrengi?"

"Good morning to you, too!"

"Sorry," he wheezed, "it's important. I overheard Quark talking to Garak about his silent partner."

Jadzia frowned. "Like... business partner?"

"Yes! That's what Quark said, I think. I can't be sure; the universal translator gave me a target language conflict error." He lowered his voice. "Apparently, they're right here on this station."

"Uh, sure, I know a little..." Julian handed her the translator log, and Jadzia burst out laughing.

"Well?"

"Julian... that's Ferrengi slang for intimate male companion."
