How common an expression is Я не буду плясать (для тебя/вас)? Can it be understood without any context? And can anyone tell me how сто пудов acquired its present meaning?

Я не буду плясать (для тебя/вас) - is not an expression, it is just a sentence, so I don't exactly get what you mean by it being common or uncommon.

сто пудов means a big weight (пуд is 16 kg), so I guess the meaning transposed into a weighty opinion, and then into something that is undoubtably true.

My mistake. I thought it was an expression.
