Someone here must have the liner notes for 'Screaming for Vengeance' - does it say Thing or Think!?

You aren't paying attention - it's THINK. From this joke:
“If that’s what you think, you’ve got another think coming.”
Now if you put "thing" in that joke, it wouldnt' be funny anymore, or make any sense.
That's the origin of the expression. Judas Priest's song is another thing (think?) entirely.

Merriam-Webster is full of dusty old librarians. it is thing.
also, it should be "I couldn't care less" not "I could care less"

Actually, while thing seems to make more sense, the original expression is
“If that’s what you think, you’ve got another think coming.”
So it's definitely 'think', but it's misquoted a lot, maybe because "You've Got Another Thing Coming" is a Judas Priest song.

ok. Is it...
"Shut up BITCH!" or "Shut up DITCH!" cause I called this chick on a school bus a ditch once and they all laughed.
Over the past 15 years I have been systematically killing those Ditches off one by one for laughing at me.
