Definition: You made a decision and now must accept its consequences. Note : This expression is commonly used as a response to people who have been complaining about problems they have brought on themselves.
This is one of an occasional series in which I am trying to revive expressions or words that are dying out such as one of my favourite words "smote".
Similar expressions to the above are:-
"Reap what you sow"
"Get a taste of your own medicine"
and, my own particular favourite
"Hoist with his own petard"
I can only assume that ladies do not possess petards, indeed, sadly most of us don't.
