What is a "telling-off"?

A telling-off is a verbal reprimand or scolding given to someone, usually in response to their improper behavior or failure to meet expectations. It involves expressing disapproval or criticism, often in a firm or stern manner, to correct the person's actions. A telling-off is typically used as a mild form of discipline and serves to make the individual aware of their mistake or wrongdoing, with the goal of encouraging better behavior in the future. It is generally not a severe punishment but is intended to address smaller issues.
