[Tlhingan-hol] More new words from Maltz

[Rohan Fenwick - QeS 'utlh]

mu' nu'angpu' 'ISqu', jatlh:
> ditch (n) is taSman

jIjangpu', jIjatlh:
>
 I laughed out loud when I saw this. The pun is immediately obvious to 
me as an Australian - I wonder if anyone else got it straight away?

mujang loghaD, jatlh:
> I get that taSman is a reference to Tasmania.

Not Tasmania, but you're not far from it. It'll be referring to the Tasman Sea, which separates Australia and New Zealand. Both Kiwis and us Aussies often refer to the other country as being "across the ditch".

> (kind of like the "other side of the pond" relationship shared by Brits and Ams)?

Yep, exactly like that.
