Friday Bonus Round: Fun German Idiom
jemandem den Kopf waschen: to give someone a piece of one's mind
zB: Dafuer, dass er so spaet in der Nacht nach Hause gekommen ist, hat ihm seine Mutter den Kopf gewaschen.
auf Englisch: His mother gave him a piece of her mind for coming home so late at night.
(from the Guide to German Idioms by J. P. Lupson)
