Learn English – a good term to describe the last of a dying breed

single-word-requests

Is there a word or short phrase that describes a person or animal that is the last survivor of a dying tribe/species?

I'm trying to use the word facetiously to describe something technical and dry. For example, "the XXXX of the widgets," or "XXXX widget," or "widget XXXX." So the more creative the allusion the better!

Best Answer

Here're a few

The vestige of the widgets.

The vestigial widget - People might not know what this means

The last widget - This is pretty common: e.g. The Last Samurai

The surviving widget

The last surviving widget

The final widget

The widget, omega - Requires some thinking to get the idea
