Lawrence Schoen wrote (HQ 11.3:13 [Sep 2002]):
On his drive up to attend {qep'a' HutDIch}, it is believed
that Marc Okrand was in communication with Maltz (the precise
mechanics responsible for this are unknown and unimportant
to the present concern). Traffic along the interstate was
particularly heavy, a topic which at some point entered into
the conversation. Dr. Okrand reports that Maltz volunteered
the Klingon term {Hutvagh}, a noun, meaning "too many people
or things in a place all at once". Maltz further indicated
that the term was used as word play, a substitution for the
more common {Qu'vatlh} which might otherwise be heard in such
situations.
PUN:
I-95 is the interstate highway between Washington D.C. and Philadelphia.
