How does uttering the word [just hypothetically] pose a threat?


I mean, shouting it may be trickier, but just saying it for example - bomb - saying it without any words surrounding it ... what possible threat can it pose? What reasonable threat can we make from a word, as opposed to how a word is used, context?
