"Get one's knuckles rapped = bị đánh vào khớp tay -> bị cảnh báo, mắng chửi hoặc bị phạt nhẹ.
Ví dụ
Earlier, Mayor Valérie Plante had her knuckles rapped in council for bleating like a sheep to suggest that members of the previous city administration (chính quyền thành phố) did whatever they were told.
Selectively excluding media (độc quyền truyền thông có chọn lọc) you don't like is a constitutional no-no (hiến pháp không được chấp nhận); just ask President Donald Trump, who got his knuckles rapped when he tried doing it to CNN's Jim Acosta.
A few days later, Congressman (nghị sĩ) Joe Byrns, Jr. was repeating much of his message to the members of the American Legion Luncheon Club, which met at Nashville’s B & W Cafeteria. Byrns warned that if America felt the need to reach across the oceans, she might very well get her knuckles rapped.
