| Throat-Slitting Gesture | comment |
A common, non-verbal way to threaten someone with death in fiction to slide your index finger or your thumb against your throat to simulate a beheading or a Slashed Throat, sometimes with a vocalized "Kccch!" sound. Usually, the one being threatened will clutch his neck in fear. Alternatively, this gesture is used to tell someone to "Shut up" or "Cut it out". In video broadcasts, it is used by those in front of the camera to tell the cameraman or programmers to cut away from the chaos going on before them. In diving, the gesture is used to indicate that the signaler is out of air and needs to use another diver's spare valve right away. A subtrope of Implied Death Threat. See also Slashed Throat and Off with His Head!. |

Total War: Warhammer II: One of Nakai the Wanderer's idle animations has him point at an enemy and then draw his thumb across his throat, a gesture all the more intimidating when it's done by a three-meter-tall humanoid crocodile who can kill an adult human with a blow of his hand. | |

The Simpsons: In the "Treehouse of Horror X" segment "I Know What You Diddily-Iddily-Did", Marge does this to shut Homer up before he blabs that she was the one who killed Flanders. In the episode "The Many Saints of Springfield", Louie from the mafia uses this gesture to intimidate Homer into giving up Flanders' location, only for Louie to accidentally slit his own throat in the process due to his sharp fingernails. |

Looney Tunes: In "Fox Pop", a fox paints himself silver and enters a fox farm after hearing a radio ad about how much women love silver foxes (not realizing that it's only for their furs). Once there, one of the other foxes tells him about a breakout and warns him about what will happen if he doesn't go with them with a throat slashing gesture. The fox thinks this means he'll get killed by the other fox, so when the breakout occurs, he stays behind, thinking he'll be safe. It's only when he sees the furrier approach with an ax that he realizes what he's gotten himself into, and does the slashing gesture on himself. In "Wackiki Wabbit", Bugs puppeteers a roast chicken with strings to trick the two castaways into thinking it's come alive, and he makes the chicken threaten them with the gesture. In "Golden Yeggs", Porky discovers that one of his chickens had laid a golden egg and asks which of them laid it. A goose tells the audience he did it, but is not telling because "I know what happened to the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg... krrrrch!" In "(blooper) Bunny!", Bugs does the "Cut the feed" version as Daffy says "You smug son of a..." In "Daffy Duck Hunt", Porky threatens the Barnyard Dawg (complete with the gesture) if Daffy isn't in the freezer box. |

Under the Banner of Heaven: Per Mormon tradition, Brenda and Allen's wedding is preceded by an endowment ceremony. A throat slitting gesture is part of the endowment, symbolizing that they'd sooner die than betray the secrecy of the temple. This particular oath was removed from LDS practice in 1990, but it would've been part of Brenda and Allen's wedding in the early 80s. | |

Total Drama: Beth stands up against Heather in "Paintball Deer Hunter" and as such Heather sets out to get her voted off. Thinking she's got the votes arranged, she locks eyes with Beth and drags her finger across her neck during the campfire ceremony. However, her threat is ruined when Beth receives a marshmallow at that exact moment. In "Basic Straining", Duncan harasses Courtney and she openly questions why she thought he was nice. He slides his hand across his neck and makes a shushing sound while he glances at Geoff and Harold, communicating to her how important his delinquent image is to him and to not reveal an act of kindness he did earlier. Despite her annoyance, she goes along with it. Heather does not believe that there's truly a serial killer running around on the island in "Hook, Line and Screamer" and goes off alone to do some personal grooming. Izzy, who is well-acquainted with horror movie clichés, declares that "the bossy, mean chick" just sealed her fate. For effect, she slides her finger across her throat while making a slurping sound. The last one of the peanut gallery introduced in "Aftermath I: Trent's Descent" is Courtney, who at that time is preoccupied with a phone call with her lawyer to sue the show for not letting her be a contestant. Geoff laughs nervously and waves his fingers across his neck to get the camera off Courtney. Heather threatens Leshawna and possibly Duncan too by dragging her finger across her throat in "One Flu Over the Cuckoos". She's mad at them for ditching the challenge preparations to get a good night's sleep and has her eye on Leshawna because of her friendship with Gwen. Team CIRRRRH wins the challenge in "Picnic At Hanging Dork", much to Courtney's delight because it means her team gets to vote off one of their members that evening and she wants Gwen gone ever since Duncan cheated on her with the goth girl. Duncan picked the winning sheep, so when he realizes the cost and turns to look at Team Amazon, Courtney grins back, points at Gwen, and drags her finger across her throat. |

Homestuck: Tavros does this when he faces off against Vriska, then emphasizes it by holding up a teddy bear's severed head. Vriska makes a similar gesture, but holds up Tavros's severed lower torso instead. For contextTavros was paraplegic, until he got his lower torso cut off and replaced with robot legs. Vriska's the one who paralyzed Tavros in the first place. Surprisingly, that isn't the biggest reason Tavros is trying to kill Vriska. | |

In Grand Theft Auto IV, when meeting with Manny and his cameraman Jay for the second time, Niko tells the latter to stop filming him as he makes this gesture with his index finger. Jay, not wanting Niko to break his camera like last time, complies. |

Galaxy Quest: Jason gives this gesture to Gwen while they're talking with Sarris as a sign to close their channel so they can plot against him. Unfortunately, she misinterprets this as him telling her they're doomed and leaves the channel open so Sarris can hear them plotting against him. Plus she has no clue how to activate the "hold button" even if she wanted to. | |

This is one of The Undertaker's usual taunts, seeing as his gimmick is a deadman/superpowered zombie. There was, however, one case in which the gesture is said to be Taker's signal for Brock Lesnar to finish him with a third F-5 and end the Streak in WrestleMania XXX. | |

Late in Death Note, Misa Amane and her romantic rival Kiyomi Takada have dinner together, and end up making passive-aggressive remarks toward each other out of jealousy over the guy they both like, Light Yagami. Misa eventually suggests that if Kira(aka Light) is caught, then Kiyomi will be given the death penalty, doing a throat slicing gesture in the anime(in the manga, she instead does finger guns). | |
