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
