You are "in the doghouse" when you have done something which has made someone angry. Example: "You kids will be in the doghouse with your mother after that mess you made in her garden!" A dog who has misbehaved may be put on a leash and forced to stay in the doghouse. A person who is "in the doghouse" [with someone] has likely done something to anger that person and will have to face some kind of punishment. |
