scolding; telling-off; dressing-down
A mild, somewhat old-fashioned or humorous term for a scolding, often from a parent, teacher, or boss. The image is of receiving a stern look or being the focus of someone's angry eyes.
I got a scolding from the teacher for being late.
When I forgot my homework, I got a telling-off from my mom.
From お (honorific prefix) + 目玉 (eyeball). The idiomatic meaning of 'scolding' likely comes from the image of being stared at angrily or being the target of someone's glaring eyes.
