I thought of that also. The first thing I came up with (in my mind) was:
Klingons aren't THAT nice to eachother!
What I mean to say is, Klingons are supposed to rather say "I hate you"
than "I love you". So if one would say "I only dislike you a little", he
would actually say "I want to spend the rest of my life (in bed) with
you". Or am I reading the yab tlhIngan wrongly here?
