You have another ________ coming

I think this thread is a MOO point

Not as bad as the time a user called it a mute point.
:huh:

It's "You have another think coming. Because if the child thinks (as in has a thought) he/she is going to do something and the parent says the child is not going to do whatever he/she wanted to do then it's logical the child would have another think (as in thought) coming.

so.... they didn't say anything?

Nope. That's why they had to point.

They are both correct. This is from Wikipedia (read the last line):

"You've Got Another Thing Comin'" is a song by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. It was originally released on their 1982 album Screaming for Vengeance and released as a single later that year. In May 2006, VH1 ranked it fifth on their list of the 40 Greatest Metal Songs.

The song reached #67 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, making it Judas Priest's only charting song in the United States.

The song's title is an eggcorn idiom, in use since at least 1919, from the original expression, "You've got another think coming," published as early as 1898.

Well that's just sad. Screaming for Vengeance is a better song IMHO.

And anything off British Steel is far superior.

*sigh*

Sounds like you've got another thing comin'.

Neither. It's "piss in vinegar."

nope - it's Turbo Lover or nothing! :smokin:

My favorite is one of their older songs - Victim of Changes. Epic.

Are you ****ing kidding me??? The blank is THING, and if I thought this was worthy of a real conversation, I'd explain to you why "think" makes no ****ing sense whatsoever!

ive always said 'you have another THING coming' ive never heard anyone use think

Ok, I'll present a scenario phrased two different ways..

Scenario 1. Child says, "I think I will go to the park before dinner." Parent says, "If you think you're going to the park before dinner, you've got another think coming."

Scenario 2. Child says, I think I will go to the park before dinner." Parent says, "You need to think again, because you're not going to the park before dinner."

It's the same meaning but just said differently. How in the world does that not make sense? How in the world does saying "You need to thing again." make sense? :huh:

Its funny how annoyed people are getting.
I always assumed it was 'thing'. But now that I have googled it I think it's think.

The one that annoys me...
"I could care less" - that means you care.

In Scenario 1, Mom was just being snarky and playing with the word. You cannot HAVE another think because it is a verb. In order to have another of something it has to be a noun. You can have another thought and/or another thing, but you cannot have another think. Telling someone to think again may have the same implied meaning, but it is not the same thinK.
