In the nick of time
Meaning: at the last possible time/moment
Example:- Victor: Where is Taito? I've been waiting for 10 minutes!
- Victor: Ahh! I can't wait any longer, I have to go!
- Taito: I'm here!!!!
- Victor: Ah, you came in the nick of time. One more minute and I would have left.
- Taito: I'm sorry!!!

Origin: A nick or notch is a small cut made into something. Nicks used to be used to keep score or count something. Nicks are precise and small; So to say "in the nick of time" means that an event happened at a precise or exact time.
