"Put the mockers on (something)" = Nhạo báng cái gì -> Phá hoại, làm gián đoạn hoặc gây ra vấn đề cho kế hoạch/hoạt động/dự án của ai; mang sự xui xẻo đến cái gì.

Ví dụ
In the third T20I as well, it was New Zealand's game to win after they put the mockers on the Indian batting post the 89-run opening partnership.

Pompeo went on to mumble something about how when he had previously said that a UK deal with Huawei would put the mockers on any trade agreement with the US he had only been joshing (bỡn cợt, trêu chọc). Hey, if you couldn’t have some bantz with your friends, who could you have it with? I mean, sometimes things got a bit out of hand and people slept with each others’ partners, but nothing that couldn’t be resolved over a cold beer and a trade war. Or a military one, come to that.

Here’s hoping Storm Dennis doesn’t strike and put the mockers on us all. The whole country’s been battered and it was no different down in Gloucestershire. At least we know the drains on the gallops (phi nước đại, tiến triển nhanh) are working well! We know Riders Onthe Storm has been working well, too, and it would be nice to think he could blow away the other three today. But joking apart, that’s obviously not going to be a breeze with Cyrname in the field, because we know how good he is – especially at Ascot.
