Word: what goes around comes around Part of Speech: proverb Etymology: First attested in the 1950s in sense 1, originally in African-American English. 1. A person's actions, whether good or bad, will often have consequences for that person. Example: So lonely in your bed / Does breakin' me make you feel good? / Guess you don't understand / What goes around, comes around 2. Things repeat in cycles. Example: Unfortunately, the main proposal in the current XML era bears a striking resemblance to the CODASYL proposal from the early 1970’s, which failed because of its complexity. Hence, the current era is replaying history, and “what goes around comes around”. Hopefully the next era will be smarter. Example: The most important one is the end of the Ajax hype. I’m not sure when it will happen, but I know that it will. What goes around comes around—what once was cool and modern will become old hat and boring.
