So 'knocking her unconscious' or 'giving her a 'damn good slapping' doesn't amount to a death threat, but talk of 'poisoning her' comes pretty damn close. Doesn't matter about 'taking them literally' no reasonable person spouts stuff like that.
Sure they do, people are always saying things like "My boss wants me to work on Saturday, I could kill him!!!"

That kind of banter's between workmates, this stuff appears in the national press, speaking about someone they don't even know.
