Grounded Fairly Common Punishment Kids Refers Unable Leave

Front You are grounded
Back "You are grounded" is a fairly common punishment for kids. It refers to being unable to leave the house except to go to school or family activities. No going to parties, sporting events and the like. In some places it also means no telephone calls. The intent is to restrict social interaction, which may have been the cause of the grounding in the first place.
In today's society it is less effective due to cell phones and internet access.
