"Pay the fiddler" = lừa đảo phải trả giá -> nghĩa là gánh chịu hậu quả cho hành động, lời nói của mình.
Ví dụ
A drug trafficker (người buôn ma túy) sentenced to 10 years to 'pay the fiddler'.
"It was a really, really bad bunch of outlaw criminals, thieves," said McLennan. "They're running around jumping out of stolen vehicles, stealing vehicles from each other, it's just crazy the way they were acting, but they're gonna pay the fiddler."
I've tried to warn people all my life about the national debt but it doesn't seem to matter. At this point, I give up. Go ahead and print money from nothing and borrow money from China. I'll be dead when it comes time to pay the fiddler. You go on and stimulate (kích thích) an economy that has its hands tied.
