I doubt that Klingons have the same idiom.

Let's look at what the Klingon actually says.

{matay'DI' vIHtaHbogh bIQ rur mu'qaDmey}
When we are together, curses resemble continuously moving water.

I take it that it means the speaker and listener are on such good
terms that the curses run freely between them. Remember that curse
warfare is a sport and curses are technically challenge words. In
Klingon culture, curses run freely between friends.
