: No.

I would have said yes. They're all threats. Gross exaggerations (hopefully), but a bit like my constant threat to my stepdaughter. 'If you do that I'll kill you'. She completely ignores me of course, pointing out that theoretically I've killed her about 20 times and she's still walking.

They're just expressions (unless you're mafiosa of course). You're dead, dead meat, a gonner, chopped liver - all meaning - you're gonna pay for that, you're in deep trouble, maybe even deep kimshe!
