[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: cheS

[kechpaja]

I found those too — but wasn't the word listed in the same section as 
(or soon after) the as-close-as-we've-ever-gotten-to-genitalia words in
the qep'a' booklet? I assumed that that was the context that was being
referred to. 

I don't remember there being a rabbit chess meme — more likely than not,
this is probably just an instance of the "every sort of cute picture
involving cute animals has probably been taken enough times to get
plenty of Google hits" phenomenon. But you might want to ask someone
with a pet rabbit.
