I'm not familiar with any such remark in text or otherwise=2C but that does=
n't mean much. I do know that one of the photos in KGT (I believe page 204=
=2C though I don't have my physical copy here) shows Beverly holding a birt=
hday cake and Worf looking=2C well=2C Worfian. The caption to that photo sa=
ys something like "Worf's expression says it all: there is no Klingon word =
for 'jolly'." I don't know if Marc wrote the captions to the KGT photos or =
if someone else was responsible=2C as with the footnotes to the paq'batlh.
At any rate=2C Troi was raised on Betazed=2C not on Earth... maybe the happ=
y "jolly" vs. intensifier "jolly" mistake could be put down to an overly li=
teral translation on her part? :)
