Just deserts
(Despite its pronunciation,
just deserts, with one
s, is the proper spelling for the phrase meaning "the punishment that one deserves." The phrase is even older than
dessert, using an older noun version of
desert meaning "deserved reward or punishment," which is spelled like the arid land, but pronounced like the sweet treat.)
I know, I know. I too was fooled. I feel like a veil has been dropped from my eyes. You are all welcome.
