It was a long shot, but never mind
Expressing that the situation was unlikely, but it doesn't matter.
It was the greatest mistake of all time
Describing a significant mistake, possibly the biggest ever made.
It wasn't wrong, it was completely wrong
Acknowledging the error without considering it partially wrong.
But I'll go away
Expressing a willingness to leave or withdraw.
I had it coming
Repetition emphasizing the inevitability of facing consequences.
I had it coming
