had enough
Can't take more
Had enough describes reaching a limit of tolerance or patience.
Someone who has had enough refuses to continue enduring a situation: I've had enough of your excuses.
It can signal the end of an argument, a relationship, or any frustrating experience.
The phrase also applies to physical satiety—having eaten or drunk one's fill—though the emotional sense dominates.
