Lower Decks has the Tamarian lexicon dialed in, and I’m here for it. Especially when it’s explained that the universal translator can’t always figure Tamarian out, suggesting that Kayshon is speaking in more simple terms half the time.
But the single greatest use of this meme has to be in “Crisis Point 2” (S3x8).
In that episode, we see Ransom, Shaxs, and Kayshon break into the science lab to get the drop on Romulan invaders. Kayshon fires the first surprise shot shouting “Temba!”.
What I love about this is that “Temba, his arms wide” is a fond greeting. But in context, gives his remark more or less the same energy as “say hello to my little friend” or “surprise, motherfuckers!”
Edit:
Kayshon, shooting first, when the Romulans invaded.
