    It’s because Ifera is taking an imaginary scenario seriously. “Get punched in the face” is a common american euphamism for “You’re an asshole if you do this. But I’m not going to literally punch you in the face”.

      Yeah but - maybe he isn’t American. Maybe he took you literally.

      You are relying on implied context.
