get more than one bargained for

This is a metaphor for not knowing the overall situation and having to bear the bad consequences. 2. It was originally a dialect saying. After it spread, its original meaning was forgotten intentionally or unintentionally. On the contrary, it was well known with the extended meaning of warning, threatening tone or playful words, which means: "if something goes wrong, (you) have to bear all the consequences" or "if you look good, let me grind it slowly from now on.".

usage

It is often used to warn or even threaten people to consider the consequences, otherwise they will not be able to bear it. How dare you behave in my territory? I'll let you ~!

1. The 13th chapter of "Jin Ping Mei CI Hua" written by Ming Lanling Xiaosheng: "you set up a man to spend the night in the courtyard. He wants his wife here. I told you that you can't eat it and go with it." Chapter 23 of a dream of Red Mansions by Cao Xueqin in Qing Dynasty: "don't take it into the garden. If people know, I can't eat it and go with it." There is an old man pan on the edge of the Yellow River. He is good at making steamed buns. Everyone likes to buy them. Passers by think it's delicious, so they want to take a few, but it's not convenient without bags. He sent someone to buy some white cloth and make it into a small cloth bag to provide convenience for the guests. After he died, his son took over the bag shop. But Pan's son doesn't want to make progress. The quality of steamed stuffed bun is getting worse every day. As soon as someone comes to eat steamed buns, he asks people to buy a lot. The guest said, "I can't eat it!" He said, "I can't eat it. I'll take it with me." As a result, people were scared and the bun shop closed. From then on, the saying "if you can't eat, walk in a bag" spread.

Riddles

Packing means to take away the rest of the food, because you have not finished eating at the table, you need to take it with you, which means "you can't finish eating, you have to take it with you". The actual meaning is: it means that you have to bear the consequences of causing trouble or causing bad consequences.

allusion

Ten years ago, a public service advertisement on CCTV called for people to eat in restaurants. There are leftovers. Don't waste them. At that time, Li Yang, a famous duck voice of CCTV, said, "I can't eat it. You can take it with you." The words, in turn, made people feel quite creative at that time. In essence, it is "back to the basics" and goes back to its original meaning. Young people, however, have heard a lot about both of them, and they don't find the two meanings fresh. But when we ponder over its extended meaning, we still find it interesting. That's the charm of language.
