The word 'comeuppance' refers to a situation where a person experiences the consequences of their actions, usually in a negative way. It is used when someone gets what they deserve, especially when they have been arrogant, selfish or dishonest in the past. For example, if a person who always cheats in exams fails an important test, they got their comeuppance. Or if a rude and mean boss loses their job, they might be said to have received their comeuppance. It is often used in a humorous or sarcastic way.
