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, a hypothetical question or another subtle remark that comes off as a threat in context.
This often allows the maker of the threat to avoid being punished for making threats, since they can claim they never really threatened the target, and is often employed when neither side is allowed to take action against each other. Often the person making the threat will avoid naming the threatened person directly. Very often leads to Is That a Threat?. On occasion, this will fly over the head of the person being threatened, particularly if that person is rather dense or the threat is especially oblique.
If the threat is made against the other person's family or against their property, that's Shame If Something Happened. The clearest nonverbal versions are the Dramatic Gun Cock and the Throat-Slitting Gesture. When you apply this trope to the death of a third party, it's Deadly Euphemism. Through some Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, this can also lead to You Have Outlived Your Usefulness, if the character is working for or with the other character that they have just threatened. See also Scarily Specific Story, which could overlap if the threatener makes the threat into a story.

In Worm, Director Tagg of the PRT gives one of these to Dinah Alcott, with regards to the girl who saved her from captivity. Dinah responds by giving him the chance to three decimal places that he dies slowly and painfully within the next few years.

The Road Warriors were famous for threatening to perform acts of violence on their opponents that would at times stretch the limits of what is humanly possible—or permissible. In a vignette to hype their scaffold match against The Midnight Express ("Loverboy" Dennis Condrey and "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton, w/Jim Cornette) at NWA Starrcade 86, they dropped a pumpkin off of a fire escape.

An "Implied Torture Threat" variant is used in Aladdin: The Return of Jafar: In an attempt to get Abis Mal to free him with his last wish, Jafar summons up a huge quantity of treasure for free, no wish required. Abis Mal is delighted until, in an uncharacteristically savvy moment, he questions if everything will disappear once he frees him. At this point Jafar gets mad.

Naruto: During the Chunin Exams finals, Neji tells the referee that the fight has dragged on too long and, if Naruto refuses to give up, Neji won't take any responsibility for what happens to him. Given that during the preliminaries he tried to attack Hinata with the intent to kill her (having to be stopped by four jounin at the same time) because she turned back his You Can't Fight Fate Breaking Speech against him, and Naruto was doing it too, it's very much clear that he too was going for deadly force for the same reason.

In RWBY, when Emerald and Mercury debate whether or not they belong with Salem in the absence of Cinder, Tyrian Callows reveals he's overheard their debate and suggests that if they're not doing what they love, they're in the wrong field. When Emerald asks if he's telling them to leave, he laughs and retorts that they can't. He then tells them to do whatever makes them happy. He's filled with sinister glee and points his scorpion stinger right at them as he says it. His message is clear: he relishes the opportunity to hunt them down and kill them if they do decide they want to leave.

A G.I. Joe Origins short story (published by Devil's Due) showcased how "Duke" Hauser had been hired by the titular covert-ops team: during his debriefing with General "Hawk" regarding an ambush that he had single-handedly saved his comrades from, Hawk says that it was pretty brave and Medal of Honor material... too bad that it's posthumous because he was killed in action. During the debriefing he had been doing some Gun Stripping of a pistol, and by the time he explained the offer to enter G.I. Joe and mentioned the "killed in action" part, Hawk had the gun assembled, loaded and pointed towards Hauser.

The very first The Adventures of Harry Nile story, "West For My Health", had Harry up to his eyeballs in debt to a mob boss, who agreed to forgive Harry's debt if he went out to the west coast to kill a guy who was threatening his business. Just to make sure Harry didn't try to avoid doing the job, the mob boss sent an associate to watch him. The associate pulled Harry aside and told him, "I'm your doctor. I'm telling you to go west for your health."

Calvin and Hobbes:
In one strip, Calvin prepares to throw a water balloon at the resting tiger, only to stop when Hobbes comments, "As if life isn't short enough."
In another strip, Hobbes offers this gem in response to Calvin once again trying to nail him with a water balloon:
In yet another strip, Calvin asks Hobbes what he would do if he creamed him with a water balloon. Hobbes responds by telling him to think of the worst thing he can imagine, and then imagine something a hundred times worse than that. When a shocked Calvin asks if he would do "that", Hobbes then replies that it would be something even worse. Calvin decides to hit him with the water balloon anyway.
In another, Calvin's dad, fed up with Calvin using the distinction between his body and spirit to justify his actions, says "The body is the home of the spirit and if you're not in bed in two minutes, your spirit is going to be permanently nomadic".

During the latter's introductory chapter in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War, Kaguya cheerfully holds a rubber knife to Ishigami's chest, telling him that if he ever reveals what he discovered about one of her plans, the knife won't be a toy next time. Made even more effective by the fact that she and the knife were both covered in stage blood (she was wearing a costume for the drama club).

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice, Phoenix wins the first "Not Guilty" verdict seen in the Kingdom of Khura'in in 23 years, since a law that causes lawyers to suffer their clients' punishments if they lose has killed off the defense attorney profession in the kingdom. At the end of the trial, Inga, the Minister of Justice, the Queen's husband and the one responsible for the law in question, greets Phoenix, makes an analogy to him being an overly lucky patron of a casino, and suggests it might be best to take his winnings and leave.

In Ice Age, Soto does this twice to Diego, his second-in-command charged to bring back a baby so he can eat it alive. When Diego loses it over the falls, Soto snarls at him, "You'd better [get it]. Unless you wanna serve yourself as a replacement." The second time, he sends two of his sabres to warn Diego to bring back the baby or "don't come back at all!", which hints at certain death for Diego, since the tigers pretty much use each other to survive, at least in Soto's pack.
Continental Drift has Captain Gutt vow to Shira that he'll "have a tiger's skin hanging on [his] wall" at the end of his war with Manny and his herd after she betrays him and helps them escape. For the added touch, he says, "I don't care whose.", which implies that he will kill Shira regardless of the outcome.

One Piece:
At the very start of the series, some mountain bandits are prepared to kill Luffy, when Shanks shows up to help him. When one of the bandits points a gun to Shanks' head, Shanks calmly asks if the man is prepared to risk his life by doing so, but the bandit isn't at all intimidated by the threat. Seconds later, Shanks' subordinate Lucky Roux shoots the bandit in the head at point-blank range.
Shortly after entering the Grand Line, the Straw Hats respond to Crocus' intimidating Death Glare by threatening to shoot him with their cannon. He replies that if they do that, someone is going to die. That someone being him.

Jim Cornette has told the story about how Jack Pfefer, a dubious promoter who used to threaten to reveal that Professional Wrestling isn't legitimate unless other promoters used his wrestlers, once came to the Memphis territory. Apparently, Christine Jarrett warned Pfefer that, should he expose wrestling, he might just end up dead somewhere. Pfefer was a notorious record keeper and kept a note that said "This is where Christine Jarrett threatened to kill me."

Ace Attorney:
In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations, Viola Cadaverini seems to have almost every other line be this, offering food and drink that is implied to be poisoned, all in a Creepy Monotone. She's a Mafia Princess, so it's not exactly an empty threat.
In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice, Phoenix wins the first "Not Guilty" verdict seen in the Kingdom of Khura'in in 23 years, since a law that causes lawyers to suffer their clients' punishments if they lose has killed off the defense attorney profession in the kingdom. At the end of the trial, Inga, the Minister of Justice, the Queen's husband and the one responsible for the law in question, greets Phoenix, makes an analogy to him being an overly lucky patron of a casino, and suggests it might be best to take his winnings and leave.

In the Strong Bad Email "original", Strong Bad claims that Bubs is merely a replacement for "Original Bubs". Bubs shows up in person near the end of the e-mail, threatening Strong Bad with "We're gonna need a new Strong Bad in about two seconds!" and pummeling SB into admitting he made the whole thing up.

In an in-game story segment from the first edition of Feng Shui, the unnamed Killer who is the protagonist of these segments is captured after a battle gone straight to hell. He wakes up in a rather stylish interrogation room with a one way mirror along one wall. In walks Inspector MacAllister, a cop working for the Ascended, who lets our assassin know where he stands in no uncertain terms:

Done non-verbally in Ratatouille. One of the many stories Horst tells to explain his stint in prison is that he killed a man with his thumb. Later, when he catches the disgraced Skinner spying on Gusteau's, he wordlessly brandishes that same thumb as a threat.
