take it or leave it
Non-negotiable final offer
Take it or leave it signals a final offer with no room for negotiation—accept these terms or walk away.
The phrase functions as both a statement and an attitude: The price is five hundred, take it or leave it.
Someone with a take-it-or-leave-it manner presents options without flexibility or concern for whether you accept.
