Facing the Pillow
v. Much like facing the music, this term implies owning up to something you've done, or to the anger of many a relative, such as a wife, sibling, or even lover. Unfortunately, this particular term refers mostly to the outcome of fessing up, and means becoming smothered by the other person in this little play due to their outrage at your mistakes.
