roll. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If someone says that heads will

roll, it means that those that are responsible for failure or wrongdoing

will be severely punished. It will be very seriously punished. All right. Let's continue.

It often implies. That someone will be fired. Yeah. Usually when we hear it

nowadays, they say heads are going to roll. I mean that probably a number of people

may be fired for whatever, whatever bad thing happened. Let's continue. This idiom

alludes to the idea in former times when people were punished for some crimes,

some were literally decapitated. They really cut their head off. Okay.

Of course. The image is of a rolling head. So after the head got cut off. Maybe

whatever it was cut off from , it may fall and roll on the ground. So of course the

images of a rolling head after it has been kind of off. Let's continue. The

earliest example of its use , dates back to 1858 in the newspaper, " The Indiana

Herald. " However many people believe the term was popularized by Hitler. So Hitler

made it you know , made it more famous. Hitler himself. Here is his quote. "If our

movement is successful, there will be a Revolutionary Tribunal which will punish

the crimes of November 1918 . " I think he's talking about a reference to ... there were

the agreement after World War one where you know Germany was blamed for World

War one and they had to pay a lot of very high taxes for war reparations. And

that's what eventually led to Germany going into hyperinflation. And because

Germany went into hyperinflation and you know, the economy totally kind of went

haywire or collapsed that's what led to Hitler being elected. So that's what

he means here." Then decapitated heads will roll" So whoever agreed to that or

you know, finally agreed to that if they caused us to go through all this chaos.

Those heads are going to roll. All right. Anyway we have three examples to show

how we use it today. Example number one. Once we discover who is responsible for

the scandal, heads will roll. Well people will be fired. Or number two. When the

boss is informed about what happened here. Heads will roll or heads are going to

roll. So again a number of people are going to be fired. Okay and the last one we

have here. If we lose this contract, heads will roll. Yeah. Maybe there's a very

important contract to the company. So if they lose it , you know , some, some people

are going to get fired. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it was clear. I hope it was

informative. Thank you for your time. Bye- bye.
