An Australian and New Zealand slang phrase meaning the absolute limit, the bitter end, or the furthest extreme of something — often used to describe a situation that has reached its worst or most exhausting point. Stone end captures that feeling of having pushed something as far as it can possibly go, whether it's a relationship, a project, or your patience. It's blunt, vivid, and characteristically antipodean in its no-nonsense delivery.
By hour six of the road trip with the kids fighting in the back seat, she'd hit the stone end of her tolerance.
