Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: vIng
Probably has been suggested before, but: Possible pun on "whinge" ? Apparently it's possible to use it as a synonym for whine, but I only know the word from forums, where it's been used to describe those who constantly lament about others whining.

One year at the qep'a' the hotel's key system used VingCard <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VingCard_Elsafe>, and we all thought this was very funny. On 1/14/2019 9:48 AM, Steven Boozer wrote:
