"Heads Will Roll"

"Heads Will Roll" is a phrase that means someone will face severe consequences or punishment, often implying that blame or responsibility will be ultimately assigned and dealt with decisively. Historically, it originated from a 17th-century expression about executing someone by beheading. In contemporary usage, it is commonly used figuratively in contexts like workplace or entertainment to suggest that someone will be held accountable or removed from a position if they fail or make mistakes. The phrase can also be associated with the idea of a harsh response or retribution towards someone who has erred.
