LIKE A REAL MAN

[Marina Gaidar]

What would one say to threaten to kill somebody? Something very strong and rude, which can be possibly said by a warrior to a warrior (in old times - no slang). In Russian we have something old-fashioned like (literally) "I will gut you!".

[charliedeut]

"I shall butcher you"
"I shall slay you"
"I shall gore you" (gore - definition of gore by Macmillan Dictionary, this might be a literary license)
"I shall vanquish you" (although this one doesn't imply the killing part)


If come up with any more, I'll let you know.

"I shall gore you." This only works if you are a talking bull.

Slaying, gutting, butchering etcetera have nothing to do with being "like a real man".

The OP didn't mention the warrriors had to be human. She might be writing a blood-and-gore fable, where bulls are the warriors!

Hmm.

I, too, was wondering what the title had to do with the post. For future reference, Marina Gaider, please don't post your title in capital letters and make sure that it contains all or some of the words you are querying. "Another way to say "I will kill you" " would have been good for this one.

Some people might say "You're a dead man", or "You're dead meat". Those are a threat to kill.

Then maybe we should include "with my own hands" or "in individual combat/fight"

What a load of bullocks!

I tried to be ironical. Sorry that I didn't manage.
