I've figured out the first two puns:
*'uppol* (feat, stunt): Back in the Roaring Twenties, people would often sit UP a flagPOLE as a feat/stunt.
*'unqal* (kettle): *'un* means "pot", and *qal* is derived from English "call" -- "the pot calling the kettle black".
There's also a product called "Uncle Dave's Kettle Corn". That was my first thought for a pun. Makes it easy for me to remember too.
The notes that came with {'unqal}:
Maltz said that, as far as he knew, the resemblance of this word to {'un qal}, presumably "corrupt pot" (whatever that might mean), was just a coincidence.
