The only one I have in my notes is *{pomlet} which was suggested at a qepHom in Germany.
Although I doubt Klingons are much given to euphemism, you could use the nouns {chuvmey} "leftovers", {pugh} "dregs", {taQbang} "exhaust" and {veQ} "garbage".
Useful verbs include {tlhuch} "exhaust", {yIb} "vent", {tlhuD} "emit", {nIj} "leak" and {chuv} "be left over".
