Characters make death threats that they never seem to carry out. It's not uncommon to have people say "[[I'll Kill You!]]" all the time, only to have fights that never quite go that far, only stopping at wounding and/or maiming. Granted, "I'll '''seriously wound''' you!" doesn't sound quite as badass (though even that can be pulled off [[To the Pain|effectively]]), but at least it's more threatening than a [[Strongly Worded Letter]].
