"THINK" is not a noun. It would be "thought."
It's an idiom! Damn!!
Aha! Think is a noun. Or was when the saying originated - [link]
“Think” is a noun as well as a verb. “Think” the noun first appeared around 1834 meaning “an act or period of thinking” (“Let’s have a cigar and a quiet think,” 1891), and, by 1886, “a thought” or “an idea” (“A thing must be a think before it be a thing,” 1887). We rarely see this noun form of “think” today (outside of this particular phrase), but in the late 19th century when the phrase became popular, “another think coming” would have been understood as equivalent to “another thought coming,” i.e., a change of mind.

I've always thought it was "thing," but apparently the OED thinks "think." [link]
It's definitely pike, though.

When you leave grammar, you've gone to the dark side.
Are you telling me there is no (other) instance of ungrammatical-yet-acceptable-because-amusing plays on words in literature or popular culture? I wish I were more than passing familiar with Shakespeare's works; I'll bet he coined a few of them.
Also, cookies.
It's not supposed to be grammatical, it's supposed to be amusing! It's a play on words! Why is there no whimsy in your soul?
It's not a play on words; it's a threat! Threats have way more teeth when they're grammatical!
My whimsy was in the tooth that got pulled. I had a whimsectomy.

Please tell me no one here says "for all intensive purposes." Please. Can I cling to that hope?
Tep's been de-whimsified! Oh no!
Annie's Boobs! Blorgons!
We may need to install bionic zombie whimsy.
