Yep, I agree some are. Tanj for example (if memory serves) means There Ain't No Justice. I believe Mr. Niven invented that one for his Ringworld books. It doesn't seem to have caught on much, at least I haven't seen any other writer using it. Might be that it was just too funny to be taken seriously, who knows.
