AFAIK never used in canon.

Cultural notes:

KGT4:  a Klingon, though not predisposed to deception, may, if necessary or potentially beneficial, disguise his or her identity by imitating the speech of a member of another group.

TKW 145:  when a warrior dies, his spirit appears, whereas prior to death it was hidden or disguised by the body.

Possibly relevant proverbs:

quv Hutlh HoHbogh tlhIngan 'ach qabDaj 'angbe'bogh 
A Klingon who kills without showing his face has no honor. TKW

'ang'eghQo' quv Hutlhbogh jagh neH ghobtaHvIS ghaH 
Only an enemy without honor refuses to show himself in battle. TKW
