[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: yalqom (noun)

[Steven Boozer]

Aha! The "mop top"!  I never listened to music when I was young, so I never get Okrand's musical jokes.  According to Google AI:

	The "mop top" was The Beatles' signature hairstyle in the early to mid-1960s, 
	characterized by long, straight hair with a heavy fringe that covered their 
	foreheads. It became a defining feature of their early image and symbolized 
	their youth rebellion and the British Invasion.
