threat

A system in MMORPGS which determines what character a particular mob will attack. Threat is gained during an encounter generally by attacking, healing, or taunting. For instance, threat in the MMORPG World of Warcraft is gained at a ratio of 1 damage:1 threat and 2 effective heals:1 threat before talents. Generally tanks have abilities that may have a 1 damage:5 threat ratio or greater, allowing them to keep aggro without having to be the highest dps. If enough threat is gained by a particular person, they will "pull aggro."

"This tank's is amazing, I pulled 13,337 dps and I never got above 60% threat!"

google threat

To try to prove someone is wrong by telling the person you are arguing with that you are going to log on to your computer and find documented proof.

I was late picking up my girlfriend so I told her that the horn fell off my car and I had to have it fixed using a zip screw. She said I was lying. She said the car horn is in the steering wheel and there is so such thing as a zip screw. So I google threatened her. I told her I would google it to prove I was right!
