"FINISH TOUCH" = been there

FINISH = "I am done. It is over. Enough."

I've heard seen a variation of this idiom: train gone, you go back buy ticket.

I have seen "Train go, Sorry" and then somebody said "train backward" and then the first person said "bomb, sorry" as in the track is destroyed by a bomb.

"blame + self" It's your fault!

"think + self" It is up to you. It is your choice. It is your decision.
