Last straw

The latest in a series of distressing but regularly tolerated events that gives rise to the first obvious sign of intolerance towards the offending party, usually in the form of a drastic decision or the offer of an ultimatum. May have come from shortening the idiom/expression "the straw that breaks the camel's back", relating the distress caused by the offending party to stacking straw on the back of a camel over time until it collapses under the weight.

After a series of non-explicit infarctions, Jimmy McGill loudly disturbing his coworkers with his bagpipes is the last straw that forces Cliff Main to fire him from his law firm without cause.

Ant-Strawing

When something has become so progressive it ceases to function.

The act of progressivising something to the point it no longer functions as intended, or backfires.

"Bro that's my third straw this meal, they just keep collapsing"
"Well that's a paper straw for you"

"Bro I can't believe Steven Crowder is a peer reviewed fat studies expert"
"Yeah they really paper-strawed themselves on that one"
