*{De'wI' ghew} has been used on the list for quite some time for "computer virus" or a "bug".  OTOH {ghew} is 23rd century Klingon smuggler's slang for a "border official":

  ghewmey SuqQo'!
  Don't catch any "bugs"! (ST6)
 
which potentially adds a double-entendre to the following:

  ghIlab ghewmey tIbuSQo' 
  Pay no heed to glob flies. TKW

  bIQongtaHvIS nItlhejchugh targhmey bIvemDI' nItlhej ghIlab ghewmey 
  If you sleep with targs, you'll wake up with glob flies. TKW 

  ram; ghIlab ghew rur 
  trivial as a glob fly  KGT
