Possible Pun

Hello,

I think I may have finally found the pun behind
{cha'par} (a bird noted for its song) As you know,
{par} is the Klingon verb for "dislike". The English
word "nay" is used as a negative vote-that is,
expressing dislike. So {cha'par} could mean "two nays"
or "nay nay", which ryhmes with "ne-ne", a goose
native to Hawaii.

I know that when it comes to puns you shouldn't
overthink it, but this was something I just couldn't ignore.
