The universe's way of saying 'I told you so' before the fact instead of after.
means A signal given in advance that something risky, harmful, or unwelcome may be coming.
from From Old English 'warnian,' meaning to take heed or guard oneself, a relative of 'wary' and 'ward.' The root sense is defensive — watching out, guarding against — long before it came to mean the alert you give someone else.
