I must have read this explanation a dozen times by now, or at least a quarter-dozen, but I still can't get the idea out of my head that this is an intentional slight against a lumpy dictator of some infamy.

Klingon Word of the Day for Wednesday, January 11, 2017
Klingon word: tlher Part of speech: verb Definition: be lumpy
AFAIK never used in canon.
(KGT 84f.): In terms of texture, Klingon food may be {ngal} (chewy), {char} (slimy), or {tlher} (lumpy), all considered positive attributes (depending, of course, on the particular dish).
(KGT 92): Finally, the way to prepare a common dish called {qompogh} is to mash ({tap}) a mixture of various types of {naH} (fruit, vegetable), with or without some animal matter, into a rather lumpy paste and then to let it {rogh} (ferment).
