Hi,

I wonder what someone who says "you got nothing coming" means.
I've heard it in some movie about prison and I think it's related to prison language.

Hi Quicklearner

That expression means "You have got nothing to look forward to" or "Nobody owes you anything".

It's not specifically "prison language".
