How to use "Payback" in context?
When someone wrongs you, it is natural to want to get even. Sometimes it feels like the only way to make things right is to screw that person over as much as possible. That is called "payback" or "revenge."
However, sometimes getting revenge can backfire and make things worse. For example, if you try to get back at your accuser by spreading rumors about them or designing a Logo that ridicules them, they may end up doing the same to you. It's important to weigh the potential consequences of your revenge before taking any action.
