"Give them hell" nghĩa là gì?

"Give them hell" = đưa nó đến địa ngục -> nghĩa là quở trách ai đó rất gay gắt hoặc khiến mọi thứ xung quanh họ trở nên khó khăn/khó chịu.

Ví dụ
Charlottesville is now the epicenter (tâm chấn) of the struggle for white America, Dodson told me. And just because Saturday’s violence seemed to have been contained, the alt-right will continue to “give them hell” in the city.

Police Minister (bộ trưởng) Bheki Cele didn’t give that directive — it was Steve Tshwete, a former safety and security minister. In 1999, he launched “a war on crime” when he said: “We are going to deal with criminals in the same way that a bulldog deals with a bull … We are going to give them hell. But the police were already giving people hell back then. And they never stopped.

He complained in a June 27 interview with the Greensboro News & Record, "They went on my website and contacted all my sponsors (nhà tài trợ). They found pictures of race cars here, and said they'd contact anyone who sponsors the racecars and give them hell."
