La Passión

Verb: Angel Batista's catchphrase in Dexter when Dexter Morgan is asking for relationship advice.

Batista: She don't mind who I flirt with as long as I bring home la passión.
Dexter: La passión?

Batista: Yeah, it keeps the relationship alive.

What about... communication, trust?

Batista: La passión.
Dexter: Wait. What if she wants something more?
Batista: Then you reciprocate-- You know... La passión.

Dexter: No, I meant what if she wants something more emotionally?

Batista: Don't go down that emotional road. Just go down on her. It's easier, and she'll be distracted.
