Metaphorically speaking there is little difference between the two premises. But it does take a lot more guts to say "watch your back" in anger to a person who has done you wrong than it does to casually say it to a friend in order to warn them of something. I guess also that you could argue that one is a "threat" while the other is a "warning", but they both could imply the same thing which would of course depent on context. Language is very interesting to think about, and I'm probably doing way too much of it![]()
