    I forget which season it’s in, but LD has one of my favourite tidbits of worldbuilding in all of ST. In the episode where they are goofing on the TOS movies, there is a scene where Kayshon busts through a door and shouts “Temba!” before shooting a bad guy. Thereby establishing that the Tamarian “Temba, his arms wide” not only means “take this” in the sense of sharing/offering something to someone, but also means “Take this!” in the sense of an exclamation when attacking someone.

      Oohh, good catch! I missed that. I still can’t believe there’s a Tamarian on the show, he’s awesome!

      I understood “Temba, his arms wide” to mean a gift/offering.

      Kayshon shouting “Temba!” was even funnier because he’s basically saying “Here’s a present!”
