Why is it inadvisable to attack a well defended wormhole?
Because you can become lost in translation.

Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

So essentially what everyone has been saying is that the Mandarins are the...

Nimitz was complimented for having fabulous fur by another 'cat.
He was told that he was totally "on Bleek!" |

 Which led to a compliment for Honor... being that she's from the other side of the pond as Europeans, who never trim their cat. Son, your mother says I have to hang you.

A certain furry Stinker was found following his Honor through the corridors of her ship. While she slept, he snuck into her quarters and began hitting her with celery.
When the Marines found Honor, she was covered in a stringy wet green mess, with a chittering amused 'cat sitting beside her. A few days later, Nimitz received the first authorized court-martial given to a Treecat. The Charges?? "Bleeking and entering", as well as "stalking" a superior officer. |

On Earth you can tell where a ship has been by its contrails.
In the Honorverse you can tell where a ship has been by its entrails. Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father. Incident in ? Axiom of Common Sense |

Alfred and Allison finally sat Honor down and gave her some long overdue news. "We're not your real parents dear. We found you in a tiny little spaceship that had crashed on our property many years ago. We opened the spaceship and found a very cuddly little baby. You dear. We noticed that you seemed to exhibit uncanny abilities as the years wore on, so we encouraged you toward the Navy to fight for truth, justice and the Sphinxian way. We also found this. It is the blanket you were wrapped in. It has an S on it. How on Earth your real parents knew you'd grow up to be the Salamander is beyond us." "I think it stands for Sphinxian dear." "What kind of uncanny abilities dad?" "Tell her Alfred!" "You were using pinnaces as pacifiers when you were an infant." "Your eyes were leveled missile batteries." "You could eat an entire meal faster than a speeding bullet." "Come on honey. You couldn't have really thought that someone who eats as much as you was human, did you?" "I suppose not." "Anything else I should know?" "Yes. Its funny but you always seemed to have a weakness for one particular element that begins with a K." "What's that mom?" "Killing." Son, your mother says I have to hang you. Personally I don't think this is a capital offense. But if I don't hang you, she's gonna hang me and frankly, I'm not the one in trouble. —cthia's father.

When Honor Harrington gives you "the finger", it's a lot more than an insult.
