In case it's too much of a Canadianism/Americanism to make sense, I was
going for "duct/duck tape".  There's a Canadian proverb, "Duct tape fixes
everything", made popular by a TV show called "The Red Green Show" where
the title character... uses duct tape to fix everything.

As {ghunchu'wI'} pointed out, {qatlhDa'} is a pun on "Why a Duck" (duct,
i.e., "water pipe").
