I don't think the phrase means the threats of a woman, I believe it means the propensity of a woman to speak too much. I think its similar to the saying: Loose lips sink ships.

"That being said," must always follow whatever has been said (obviously).  Simply, it means, "Since I said that," or "Since I've already made THAT point," [continue argument or explanation here].  OR, like... "Now that we've got THAT out of the way..." [continue, etc., etc.]\nThis is not always used in a contradictory manner.

In local speak, it means "Go Now!!" Said in the way an english speaking person would say "Get out of here now" or "Hurry up and go away"! Depends on the facial expression and inflection as to how quick you should move!

There are alot of phrases that orginate from Protestant (ie think not Catholic or Anglican) settlers of America. This is one of them  "speak of the devil and he shall appear" was  orgionally a phrase that encouraged people to think and speak pure thoughts. ie talking about evil will bring evil into your life. Several other phrases that we currently use orginated from this time and culture... "an Idle mind is the devil's playground" ect... These phrase where taught to children in order to encourage a rightous and pious lifestyle. Currently the phrase is used to more indicate that when you speak of something/or someone they walk in or are suddenly around and has lost alot of the orginoal religious connotation and deeper meaning.

It means, that taking into consideration the words quoted, you can improve the topics mentioned in the quote. For example, if I tell you: "All men were created equals and should be trated as equals, you can "build" on these words by saying,eg, "doesn't matter if a person is black or white, should have the same rights.
