AFAIK never used in a sentence.

ghunchu'wI' who was at qe'a' 2008 wrote (7/29/2008):

  Dr. Okrand also offhandedly volunteered that it was
  "kind of like butterscotch", using a half-shrug and
  a hand gesture that I associate with uncertainty.
  But I don't believe there would be anything wrong
  with referring to Terran chocolate pudding as
  {yuch wIlpuq}. 

PUN:
"will puke" <g>

'ep 		consume soup (v)

KGT 99f.:  If the particular dish is somewhat soupy (a dish of this kind is termed a {chatlh}, roughly translated as soup, though the amount of liquid is far less than what the Federation Standard term soup would suggest) ... Since this sort of dish is still primarily solid food as opposed to liquid, using the verb {tlhutlh} (drink) to describe ingesting it is not quite right. There is another verb, {'ep}, which refers to eating food of this kind."
