last warning
One more chance
A last warning is a final notice before consequences follow—punishment, termination, or action.
It signals that patience or tolerance has run out: This is your last warning before I call the police.
The phrase carries implicit threat: whatever comes next won't be another warning.
Parents, employers, and authorities use it to establish a final boundary.
