Tribute to Mom
My Mom used to say this to my brothers and I instead of the typical threats. In our house, "Clean up your room or you're grounded!" was replaced by "Clean up your room or I shall beat you into bloody submission!" I think it might be due to her love of the language - she's a retired English Lit teacher. Rest assured, no one in our home was ever beaten, into bloody submission or otherwise.
