To receive that which one deserves, especially a punishment or unfavorable outcome. (Note: The phrase is often misspelled as "just desserts," due to the pronunciation of "deserts" and "desserts" being the same in this context.)

2021-02-15 05:15:04 cross that bridge when we come to it

Meaning
You can say "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it" if someone mentions a problem that might occur in the future, but you want them to think about what's happening now instead.

For example

Jenny worries too much about things that might happen in the future, so people are always saying "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it" to her.
Martin asked what we'd do if our new company couldn't find good staff when we needed to expand, and I said we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
