This was kind of an inside joke. janSI' (I believe) suggested
that if somebody who doesn't speak Klingon asks you how to say,
"Have a nice day," in Klingon, the thing to teach them is {DaH
HIHoH!} Notice, this is not, "Now, you die!" It is, "Kill me
NOW!" which the unfortunate human will be saying to the Klingon
when he intends to say, "Have a nice day."
It would definitely succeed in closing the conversation, but
perhaps a little more permanently than the human might have
intended.
