When someone will go and say a consequence for someone's actions, sometimes making it sound realistic sometimes not so much, but none the less there is no intention on following up with those consequences.

"I swear I will leave you Henry after 15 years of marriage if you don't stop drinking"

"yea right, you and your empty threats"
