  • A veiled threat is a sentence given to another that can have two meanings and be taken as information or a joke or a threat. Example: 'Now that I've told you my private secrets I may have to kill you' and the person laughs or on a more normal basis 'If I ever found someone going out with my girlfriend I'd kick the crap out of them so bad they would be in the hospital for a month.' This person may be suspicious of the person they are talking too, but put the sentence in such a way that they are simply talking about anyone, but know full well that the person they said it too gets the drift of what the threat is all about.
