nature's syringe of regret, often left behind in the victim like a calling card
means A sharp pointed organ, as on a bee or scorpion, used to inject venom — or by extension, any final sharp jab, whether a painful remark, a surprise twist at the end of something, or a cocktail with a kick.
from From the verb "sting," rooted in Old English "stingan," meaning to pierce or prick with a point — a word with Germanic cousins (compare Old Norse "stinga," to stab). The "-er" simply marks the thing that does the stinging. The sense of a sharp finish — a stinger of a remark, or a film's stinger scene tucked after the credits — grew naturally from that core image of a small, pointed afterthought that gets you when you least expect it.
