Freudian Threat

"Salario: Why, I am sure, if he forfeit, thou wilt not take his flesh: what's that good for?

Shylock: To bait fish withal."

- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

A threat intended to make someone sexually uncomfortable; more often than not, a character threatens (sometimes subtly) to castrate someone.
