I don't know that meme. I am shamefully unacquainted with 8chan culture. I was referring to the "naval tradition" meme that's been around since the 60s. It is widely attributed to Churchill, but the oldest witness I could find was published in Punch.
I'm familiar with the jibe; I just thought that you were invoking it in an oblique reference to /strek's recurring Gowron meme.
It seemed appropriate for Klingon culture. Replace rum with blood wine, the lash with pain sticks, and leave sodomy as it is, I suppose. (We don't know that Klingons sodomize each other, but if you consider Discovery canon, they have two penises so it's reasonable to assume a Klingon male would penetrate both vagina and anus simultaneously.)
That doesn't make any sense, unless Klingon females have two vaginas and two uteruses, or STD Klingon males actually have reptile-style hemipenes.
And she's named after an uncastrated male horse. The messaging is a little mixed, but I assume careful viewers would have noticed the association with the sexual drive.
On the other hand, the adjective "coltish," meaning to be cheerful, youthfully energetic, mischievous, etc, was still in somewhat common parlance at the time, and seems to fit the physicality of the actress eventually cast as Colt, Laurel Goodwin, somewhat better than the "strip-queen" idea. Goodwin certainly had a nice figure, but she was definitely more "cute" than "sexy."
It's much clearer in Rand, derived from "randy," which has meant lewd or lustful since the 19th century. (Or it might be a reference to the RAND Corporation, which is more likely but not as funny.) Roddenberry broke with this pattern when he created Christine Chapel, whose very name suggests the sanctity of marriage. I like to think this was a wry criticism of the network's absurd rejection of the Number One character, but he was fucking her so he probably just felt possessive.
Well, don't forget Nichelle Nichols' Uhura (derived from the Swahili word for freedom, "uhuru"), who was probably the sexiest recurring female character on the show, even before she got to show off her very toned midriff and languidly threaten people with knives in the Mirror Universe episode (plus, Roddenberry was apparently fucking her on the side at the time):
The pattern of sexual names resumed with Deanna Troi, named after the virgin goddess Diana and Helen of Troy....
Maybe "Troi" was supposed to be a call-back to France Nuyen's Elaan of Troyius?
...she's not as slutty as Colt or Rand[y], but perhaps more desirable. Crusher was obviously intended to be a fetish character; as the character was developed they retained the mommy aspect and the medical examination scenes, but I don't think they ever depicted her crushing insects or puppies with high heels.
Thanks, I didn't need to be reminded that some people get off to that...
I don't know if Roddenberry was doing anything clever with Natasha Yar, but she got raped a lot and had drunk sex with a robot, so there was really no need for innuendo.
Yar and Troi were originally supposed to be played by Marina Sirtis and Denise Crosby, respectively. According to Crosby, “Troi was this cool, Icelandic blonde. Almost Spock-like.” However, "somewhere, about the second or third audition, Gene Roddenberry had this idea: Let’s just switch them and see what happens."
Dunno if that sheds light on the whole issue or further obscures it, though.
Rick can talk all he wants about Gene's legacy; keeping a bust of Gene in his office, "Gene was my Curzon Dax, my symbiont"... It's obvious that he's a talentless suit who was brought in to keep things cleaner.
And the franchise was the better for it, for the most part.
. This could be how it would look IRL.
