Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentence?
He was very rude and so I gave him a good dressing down.
give somebody dressing down = tell off, rate, thrash, give someone a good beating, clobber, paddle(??)
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V.
