HSS  +  168408 Sat, 10 Dec 05 02:52 PM I've used "(What) goes around comes around" for both good or bad. My friend from Scotland insists that I only use that expression for bad. He is like if you do something bad to someone, you will get something bad at a later time from someone else. But I object to that. It could be used for something good that will eventually come back to you. Please someone clarify for me.

	Mister Micawber  +  168410 Sat, 10 Dec 05 02:56 PM I agree that it could be used for beneficial events also; but I agree with your friend that it usually appears in conversations about unfortunate occurrences. It is like 'you reap what you sow'-- again, normally used for ill effects.
