To pay for the glass or broken plates, to pay for the corn as they say in some parts of Latin America, verbal locutions. To bear the consequences of some trouble or mess without having had any art or part in the matter, to suffer the punishment that someone else deserved, to suffer an undeserved punishment. Some say that the duck expression was a corruption of the covenant, the Hispanic Jews' covenant with Yahweh that Christians scoffed at.
