"Back in (someone's) box" = trở về với chiếc hộp của mình -> cụm từ này nghĩa là quay trở lại vị trí mà ai đó ít được để ý hơn; trở lại hình ảnh thiếu sôi nổi.

Ví dụ
And we say, ‘No, no you’ve got to get back in your box here’. The backlash is huge and it is them who are creating division and destroying our culture and that is ultimately what we boo. We boo our discomfort.

NSW Transport Minister Andrew Constance has suggested three rebel (nổi loạn, chống đối) MPs should get "back in their box" after they called off a "laughable" leadership spill motion against the state premier.

People of all ages oppose VAR, but only those who are older have their age used as a criticism of their standpoint (quan điểm, lập trường). We are the Luddites, the old geezers (ông già) who are out of touch. Back in your box, granddad, this is the future calling. Stop living in the past. Get with the programme. Technology is the future, you old fart.
