Another thing or another think?

[MaryPoppinUnannounced]

So quick question is it

‘You’ve got another thing coming’ or
‘You’ve got another think coming’??

Worried I have been saying it wrong all these years

Verbal wordplay? WTF?

But, I might have another think about that for a minute and realise I have been wrong all my life!

Think can also be a noun. Have a think about it.

It's definitely think.

It’s think, but you’d sound like a knob in real life saying it I reckon.

Just like Moet should be pronounced with a hard T sound at the end but you’d sound a pretentious idiot doing so

I believe it's think, as in you're going to have to reconsider that.

Definitely 100% think.

Surely another thing makes more sense? What is another think??

It’s definitely think but the stand alone phrase of “and another thing” is possibly confusing.

You can't have a 'think'. But you can have a thing.

You can have a thought, so surely it would be 'you have another thought coming?' Another think just doesn't make sense to me.

It's think as in

'If you think it's A, you've got another think coming' . Thing wouldn't make sense.

But if it's ''you're x, y, and z, and another thing, you're b as well' then it's thing.

I know it's think as that makes sense but I probably mostly say thing

I blame Judas Priest.

Yeah, me too.

It's a kick ass song though.

@ChateauMargaux

Think is a verb, thing is a noun. The sentence in question requires a noun, therefore a thing or a thought.. not a think!! You are all wrong!!

So what if I want to say "let me have a think about it"? Think is a noun in that sentence? Surely you can think and you can have a think? It's a noun and a verb?

For those people who are claiming thing, please explain how on Earth it fits into the full saying?
It doesn't

If you think X you've got another thing coming

Makes no sense at all

If you think X you've got another think coming

Essentially means you need to think again - makes perfect sense

Think as in 'think again about that'. Hence, another think.

Bit scary that so many people on here believe that "thing" is correct.

You can't have a 'think'

No, clearly not.

Think

It think, it’s if you think something it’s wrong and you better chance and have another think. Thing makes no sense at all! What thing is coming?

I'll die on Hill Esssssssspresso though.

Think

Ha ha, this again.

It’s a joke phrase - Oh you “think” that do you? Well, you’ve got another “think” coming my friend.

It’s not supposed to be grammatically correct, it’s a joke sentence emphasising that a person is mistaken.

So. If you still think it’s thing, you’ve got another think coming.

@MrsTerryPratchett I’ll join you on that hill, that’s one worth dying on 🙌🏼

Aaargh checked back in and I mistyped for my reply. And I was first. The utter humiliation.

@MrsTerryPratchett

I say thing. I know it's think.

Me too
