The Real Meaning Behind 15 Common Cliches

‘Getting your just deserts’

Many people get this phrase wrong, referring to someone as getting their “just desserts.” The real phrase is far less tasty, however.

The word “desert” in this context means something one has earned or deserved. As such, if you’re getting your just deserts, you’re up for some sweet karma rather than a delicious sweet treat.
