majQa'! 'ach Qu'vatlh je! majQua'vatlh! (I say Qu'vatlh because I had something much more complicated in mind, and the actual pun was so simple. I think the extra qaghwI' at the end threw me off. I had it as a rebus/pseudo-calque of "whaddayacallit": "whadda" = "water" = "salivate" = *tIl*, and the final "lit" as "let" = *chaw'*, and then I was trying to figure out how *qem* could stand for "yacall". My best guess was that "bring" could be an onomatopoeia of a phone ringing.) A few more puns from this and other recent word lists that I had been putting into a list to post: - *Hen *"be experienced": Jimi "Hen"drix's first album was titled* Are You Experienced*, and his band was The Jimi Hendrix Experience. - *lew* "bloom": Lew Bloom was an American vaudeville performer, actor, art collector, and artist. - *yItQet* "petroleum, crude oil": *boQwI'* currently lists this pun as a reference to "Tikriti", which I think is kind of a stretch. I think the more likely pun is *teQ tIy* "Tex tea" = "Texas tea", a slang term for crude oil made famous by the opening theme song to the *Beverly Hillbillies*.
