From Max Décharné's (excellent) 'Straight from the Fridge, Dad: A Dictionary of Hipster Slang'
THE LIVING END -
1. The best, superlative, righteous
2. The last straw, the limit 'Christ, he thought. This was the goddam living end. The kid in hot water again. Molly wise to Irene. He was sick and tired of the whole stinking rat race.' From the novel 'Run Tough, Run Hard,' Carson Bingham, 1961.
