So, we have the word {SorHa'}, meaning "to speak metaphorically".
On the other hand, we can't use klingon words metaphorically, because
we always need to take them on their most myopic, strict, and
narrow-minded meaning.
You are mistaken. Feel free to speak metaphorically. What we
can't do is assume that an idiom from another language
will work in Klingon.
