I thought it might've had something to do with I Dream of Jeannie. I don't remember the bra, but I do remember how the taboo against showing Jeannie's 'eQway was a big deal.

Many new words for animals, clothes, and food! We can talk about bees now, and we finally have a word for "Ukraine"! It's also nice to have a word for turtleneck, since that's what I always wear. http://klingon.wiki/En/NewWordsQepHom2022 My first stab at the puns: Ho'latbeD (raison d'être / ikigai) -- Idol-shrine-bed janIj (bra) -- Backwards, this is *jInaj*: "I dream". Wonderbra? jva (confused prisoner) -- Jean Valjean? lachvoH (bee hive) -- Backwards, this is *Hov chal*, starry sky. Perhaps the Beyhive (as in, Beyoncé & Co.) is a "sky full of stars"? Aside from *'ImtIy*, though, Marc Okrand doesn't seem to make puns about twenty-first century pop culture. Or else he would've made the word for "beaver" something like *nItsaj* or *da'ghet*. maqSung (bee, wasp) -- "Proclaim native"? Or maybe there's an actor named Mac Sung or Max Unger or something who played a hymenopteran role? po'lIgh (sauce) -- Glop. waDwach (scarf) -- Backwards this is "chow down" -- the OTHER meaning of "scarf". wu'DIy (beaver) -- Woody, since beavers chew woody material.
