 |
|
Hi everyone,
I was reading an article about teaching kids and how stressful this is and the author says,
"Daily facing little dears whose favourite pleasure is trying to do teacher's head in: keeping them off the streets and out of everyone's hair for most of the day."
Well, I couldn't find any phrase like that in any dictionary and I can't figure out the meaning. Can anyone help me?????? Thanks- Andie |

Hi
Cited Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary as saying:
do sb's head in: (BrE, imformal) to make you feel confused, upset and/or annoyed.
Shut up! You're doing my head in.
Hope that helps! |
