Significado
To exchange loving words and expressions of affection with someone.
Contexto cultural
The use of 'Del' (heart) is central to Persian identity. Unlike the Western 'heart' which is purely romantic, 'Del' is the center of all emotions, including courage, sadness, and sincerity. Jigaraki stalls are social hubs in Iran. The act of eating heart and kidney together is a shared experience, which mirrors the shared experience of the idiom. Persian uses many 'body part' idioms. 'Jigaram' (my liver) is a common term of endearment, similar to 'sweetie' or 'honey'.
Use it for teasing
This phrase is most effective when used to playfully tease friends who are acting too romantic.
Not for your boss
Never use this to describe a good meeting with your supervisor; it sounds like you're flirting with them.
