"I've had Keldabe kisses that hurt more."
―Nam Beroya[1]

Keldabe kiss was a Mandalorian term[1] for a headbutt.[2] It shared its name with Keldabe, former capital city of the planet Mandalore.[3] In 22 BBY,[4] Jango Fett performed a headbutt on the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, during their fight on the watery world of Kamino.[5] Nam Beroya said that he had headbutts that hurt more than torture.[1]
