No, it doesn’t. That saying is such crap. Threatening people with bodily harm is not as bad as actually harming them, but it’s still both illegal and immoral.

Threatening people with bodily harm is not as bad as actually harming them, but it’s still both illegal and immoral. Swinging your fist at someone’s face but stopping just short of actually hitting them is generally also considered assault.
