What does the last straw mean as an idiom?
To declare that something you heard, read, witnessed or experienced is the last straw is to declare that you have reached the limit of your patience and are now prepared to act in opposition to that which was heard, read, witnessed or experienced. I assume it is a reference to the straw that broke the camel's back. Since every animal has a limit to how much weight it can bear on its back before its back breaks, it follows that there must be an individual piece of straw the weight of which is enough to put the load on camel's back past the breaking point.
