Herbie gives fair warning when he is about to take action. Usually, the threat and action both involve bopping with this here lollipop, but there are other cliché cases. Herbie either warns someone not to do something, or threatens what is going to happen.

Index terms: warn, threaten, consequences, or else, Richard E. Hughes, Ogden Whitney
