Question

In the Doghouse in disgrace or dislike; facing punishment

Accepted Answer

My mother forgot it was my father's birthday, so she's in the doghouse. This might have come from the old custom of banishing a bad dog outside to its doghouse. Or it could have originated with the story of Peter Pan, in which Mr. Darling treats the beloved pet dog badly and his children fly off with Peter Pan. Mr. Darling feels so guilty that he lives in the doghouse until his children return home.
