Tell-off - someone who has authority can tell you off = speak to you angrily about sth wrong you have done. Examples: She was one of those children who was always getting told off at school. / My dad told me off for swearing. / I've already had one telling-off from Dad this week. (notice the verbs and prepositions this phrasal verb collocates with)
