    THING. For instance you would say " If you think it is ok to do that you have another thing coming."

    Based on the all-knowing Judas Priest, it's You've go Another Thing Coming.

    If it doesn't make sense to you, it can be listed with all the other idioms we use in daily language.
    "Spill the beans."
    "A dime a dozen."
    "A piece of cake."
    etc

    These all have reasons.. "let the cat out of the bag" "turn on a dime" "play it by ear" They all originated from something google them.

    A lot of people mistake it for 'thing', but I'm sure it's 'think' - as in, if you think you're going to do that, m'laddio, you'd better think again.... :-)

    Rob Halford says it's "thing".

    Thank you! I was screaming that into my monitor. I'm pretty sure my co-workers are freaked out now. Oh well.

    Good Grief...

    THINK. It simply means 'you are wrong, think again'. 'Thing' doen't make sense - what is the thing that is coming?

    It's a British phrase, not an American one and it's definitely another THINK coming. You think wrongly so you need to think again. How can you have ANOTHER thing coming when there wasn't a first thing?
