In the dog house意思

"In the dog house" is an English idiom that means to be in trouble or in disfavor with someone, especially a person in authority or someone you depend on, such as a parent, boss, or romantic partner. The origin of this phrase is not definitively known, but it is often associated with the idea that a dog house is a place of punishment or exclusion for a dog that has misbehaved, and the phrase extends this concept to human relationships.

For example, if you forgot to do the chores you promised your partner you would do, and they are upset with you, you might say, "I'm in the dog house with my partner right now." This means you are in trouble or have lost their favor.

The phrase is often used in a casual or humorous way, but it can also be used seriously to describe a situation where someone is facing consequences for their actions.
