To be brought back to one's
cake and
milk:
Obscure northern phrase meaning "to be taken down a
peg or two".
Eg: "You keep that
attitude up,
young man, and you'll be brought back to your cake and milk soon enough!"
Also: to be brought
down to one's cake and milk. Stemming from the idea that cake and milk are the most humble
foods that people
live off. Not entirely sure why cake and not
bread, but it's probably similar to
Marie Antoinette's "
Let them eat cake".
