In The Klingon Dictionary written by Marc Okrand and published around the release of The Search for Spock, the word is “ghargh” and is defined as “serpent, worm” meaning it’s a generic term used to refer to worm-like things.
In “A Matter of Honor” Riker calls it" Serpent-worm", making it into a proper noun. More the fault of Burton Armus who wrote the script than Johnathan Frakes, but annoying either way.
Time for pet peeve venting.

Venting complete.
Please be sure to close the plasma vents when you’re done. Don’t want them clogged up with any space jizz.
