I think you are. Someone asked for the noun for /snow,/ and you're
basically saying not to ask for one because you can find other ways to
say it. I'd like a noun for snow so I don't have to play at
circumlocution whenever I want to use it. I also find it highly unlikely
that Klingons don't have a word for this common stuff, and that they
play word games whenever they talk about it.
It's a wish-list, not an I-can't-find-any-other-way-to-say-it list.
