Russian term or phrase: за базар придется ответить

контекста дать не могу, к сожалению. могу только вот так пояснить:

Спасибо заранее.

You'll stake the life for your words / You'll pay if you say

Explanation:
Николай Юрьевич Романов:
Наиболее распространенный вариант: "to stake one's life for something". В данном случае: "You'll stake the life for your words". Менее распространенный вариант: "to answer for something with your life". Т.е. : "You'll answer for your words with your life". Третий вариант, - разговорный и наиболее употребимый: "You'll pay if you say". Также возможны варианты: "Your ton(gue) is now mine" и "(Remember) As you said", а также "(Un)paid speech" и уже устаревшее "to speak "pig latin".

"Этот парень за базар отвечает." This guy is trustworthy. You can bank on it [what he says]. etc.
You can count on it. I'll stake my life on it. You can bank on it.

"Акционеры попросили Директора ответить за базар". Shareholders... told the director to put his money where his mouth is.

If you start beef, you better step up.

Explanation:
I mostly second what others have said. Though I would underscore the juvenile, idiomatic tone of "базар", which is slang for "beef", particularly if translated to American English.
Best,

Note to reference poster

Asker: This is amazing, Irakli. I even voted for this one and have no recollection of doing it. However, the biggest question is: why isn't it coming up in my searches. I even just searched for just "базар". Very strange. Thank you!
