"No.  Stinky taught it to me - and he says that it's heresy of the blackest sort.  By his lights I mean - I couldn't care less.  It's the Martian word Mike translates as: 'Thou art God.' But our brother Mahmoud says that isn't even close to being a translation.  It's the universe proclaiming its own self-awareness... or it's 'peccavimus' with a total absence of contrition or a dozen other things, all of which don't translate it.  Stinky says that not only it can't be translated but that he doesn't really understand it in Martian - except that it is a bad word, the worst possible in his opinion and much closer to Satan's defiance than it is to the blessing of a benevolent God.  Go on.  Was that all there was to it?  Just a bunch of fanatics yelling Martian at each other?"
