the jig is up
The phrase "the jig is up" is a common expression that means a ruse or trick has been seen through, and is no longer fooling anyone1. It is used to refer to lies, deception, or tricks. For example, if someone is trying to play a prank on someone else, but the other person walks in and sees what they are doing, the prankster might say "the jig is up" to indicate that their trick has been discovered1.
