Aujourd'hui on utilise cette expression pour parler des conditions exactes d'un contrat ou d'une façon plus générale en référence à une somme d'argent qu'un débiteur est dans l'incapacité de payer. On pourra dire par exemple We're barely able to make ends meet as it is, the last thing we need is the taxman asking for his pound of flesh ("on a déjà du mal à joindre les deux bouts, on n'a vraiment pas besoin que le percepteur vienne nous réclamer de l'argent"). -
