Hello, thank you for your recommendation. I'm trying to read more in English, so I'll search for it.

This saying comes from the Colombian custom of killing a pig in December for celebrations, and it's used humorously to say that even if someone seems to get away with itsomething, their time will come.

The word “it” is used when the thing you are referring to has already been established/explained. Since you haven’t explained exactly what that is, you should use a word like “something” instead
