It's not actually. The original expression uses "think". In the UK the word "think" can be used as a noun. Like: "I had a good think over tea", although that usage is a bit antiquated now. By the early 20th century, the phrase "... you've got another 'think' coming" was fairly widely used in the UK, and by the mid 20th century it had made its way across the commonwealth and into the United States.

#23: the expression was never 'down the pipe'. Something that is being planned is 'in the pipeline'.

Yep, it's "... coming down the pike" (as in turnpike).

Easier when you're not à native speaker and have seen most of those in writing before hearing them. The "pipe" I had never met, though.

No4 is wrong. It's free rein, referring to horse riding where a loose, or free, rein allows the animal to do what it likes without any form of control.

#4 - it's 'rein' - it's always 'rein' in that context. #23 - 'down the pike' is at least as common, as in 'down the turnpike'. #26 - 'strait and narrow' is the original, correct, expression. However, it is nice to see they have #1 correct: 'If you think that, you have another think coming'.
