This trope is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: A character threatens to kill another, but without actually using the words "I'll kill you." Usually involves the use of an analogy or a hypothetical question. This often allows the maker of the threat to be a Karma Houdini, since he can claim he never really threatened the target. Often the person making the threat will avoid naming the threatened person directly. If the threat is made against the other person's family or against his property, that's Shame If Something Happened. Examples of Implied Death Threat include:
