That’s what was supposed to happen to you

"A dat fi appen to yuh" is a Jamaican Patois expression that means “that’s what was supposed to happen to you” or “you deserved that.” It is often used when someone experiences a consequence or misfortune that is seen as fitting or justified based on their actions. The phrase can carry tones of judgment, sarcasm, or satisfaction, especially when the speaker feels the person brought the situation on themselves. It’s commonly used in arguments, storytelling, or as a sharp remark when someone is being called out for their behavior. Depending on the tone, it can range from playful teasing to serious condemnation.
