in the doghouse
Disfavor; neglected; disgrace; Cause trouble, disgrace
This idiom comes from the children's play "Peter Pan" by the British novelist and playwright Barrie (1860~1937), which describes the Darling family's children, Wendy, John and Michael, who have a Newfoundland dog and are very fond of the big dog and play with it almost every day. But their father, Mr. Darling, not only did not like the dog, but often abused it. This caused the children to be angry, and in protest, the children ran away from home together. When the father learned of this, he was deeply remorseful, and as a sign of repentance, he took up residence in the doghouse and waited until the children returned. The idiom has not been used for a long time, and was originally used to refer to a man being punished or snubbed by his wife for misconduct, but is now used to refer to "falling out of favor" in general. It is used to describe a situation in which a person is punished, blamed, or undesirable because of a mistake or mistake.
