[Tlhingan-hol] swimming Teddy-bears in Klingon

[Steven Boozer]

TKW 35:   The negative associations with water might also be seen when Worf remarked to Counselor Deanna Troi, "Swimming is too much like bathing." 

KGT 91:   The verb {HaH} [...] is now often used in the more general sense of "soak, drench". It is frequently heard in the reflexive form ({HaH'egh} "soak oneself") in reference to such activities as drinking a great deal, which has positive connotations, and bathing, an occasional undertaking with negative connotations.
