“drown someone” or “have someone drowned”?

Is it strange to say “I’m going to have you drowned.”?

I think “I’m going to drown you!” sounds better, but is “have someone drowned” also correct?
Whatever happened to regular insults? Like “I hope you choke on a bag of dicks”
@Arukas3 it’s because I didn’t know you were talking about sexual stuff. Or that you were suggesting you and your guy friend were going to canoodle in the bathroom.
Context matters for sure.

@southerngent it’s not a sexual thing at all! 😅 He was joking and I just wanted to say “do you want me to drown you in the bathtub?” as a joke… because there’s no way I would accept that and he already knows I would refuse it lol
@Arukas3 things are so much better with the correct emoji. 😐😂🤣🥹😅😁😃
Doesn't it depend on whether you're going to do it by yourself or whether you're going to pay someone to do it ?

@BridgeOvertroubledWaters Right! So when I mean it’s someone else who’s gonna drown the person, “I will have you drowned” can be correct?
@Arukas3 sounds right

You are going to be drowned?

"Drown you" implies that you will drown the person.

"Have you drowned" implies that you will get someone else to drown the person.

@ViciDraco thank you so much! It helps a lot. So if I meant “I don’t want to be a murderer myself, so I will make someone else do my dirty work and drown you.”, is the second one, which I have actually sent correct?

@Arukas3 Yes. Like a crime boss.

To have someone drowned means that you may have someone else drown this person. The sentences are not the same.

@DDonde sorry for my poor English…

This is what I was thinking in my mind, and what I was trying to say was “if you enter the bathroom I will drown you” but I said “do you want me to have you drowned?”
And after i actually sent the message, I worried that I might used a wrong English and I should’ve said “do you want me to drown you?” (sorry for my bad drawing tho)
