My history of pun-derstanding this word is somewhat different:
Saw the word. Understood that it was a plural body part.
Wondered if the fact that De'vID was reluctamt to state its meaning was due=
to its being naughty.
Noticed that it was used in a very raunchy nuq bop bom 'ay'; took this as c=
onfirmation that it referred to naughty parts.
Read Qov's story in full. Apparently, the woman was the one with 'IvtIHDu',=
so it probably referred to breasts (perhaps specifically to the female inc=
arnation thereof).
Was perplexed by the sentence =ABDuQqu'meH, 'IvtIHDu'Daj 'uch Mahoun. pe'vI=
l 'eltaH.=BB, but didn't dare ask for clarifucation.
Investigated the pun. "hooray". Made sense to me, but I was still a bit sur=
prised to see pun of that nature enter the language.
...and then De'vID explained what the word really meant, and there was much=
blushing.

will never get rid of it... :-)
