"Ice" as a term for other non-metallic substances more usually encountered as liquids or gases is not slang by any reasonable definition of that word, as SuStel has noted (both "methane ice" and "ammonia ice" started appearing in scientific literature in the early '60s), but that's beside the point. I was only trying to think of a parallel English genitive collocation involving a substance's alternate phase that I could test as a Klingon genitive and see how the phrasing worked for me in Klingon. It was a test case, nothing more, and absent further clarification on how the word {chuch} might be used I won't be expanding it to non-water ices any time soon.
