cargársela

A fixed colloquial reflexive expression meaning to get in trouble or face the consequences: te la vas a cargar (you're going to get it), se la cargó por llegar tarde (he got in trouble for being late). Always used with la as a fixed, non-referential pronoun.

• Como llegues tarde otra vez, te la vas a cargar. — If you're late again, you're going to be in trouble.
• Se la cargó por copiar en el examen. — He got in trouble for cheating on the exam.
• Nos la vamos a cargar si no terminamos a tiempo. — We're going to be in trouble if we don't finish on time.

The la here doesn't refer back to any specific noun — it's a fixed part of the expression, not a pronoun learners should try to trace to an antecedent.
