qay'be'. Most heart references in TNG, DSY and VOY have been either of the
strength/bravery type, or lines to the effect that "I will rip out your
heart", which is probably not a romantic come on. Though with Klingons,
you can never be sure.

HIvqa' veqlargh! My work is not so thorough it seems. I had completely
forgotten about YACI (it's the one Klingon episode I don't have on tape).
Were there romantic, maudlin human-style heart metaphores in this episode?
I vaguely recall a line from the marriage ceremony about how the gods
couldn't stand against two Klingon hearts beating together. If so, I'm
disappointed.
