English Idiom: In the doghouse
If you’re in the doghouse, it means someone is angry at you, and you are unhappy about it.
If you forget your wife’s birthday, you may find yourself out there with the dog faster than you can blink.
You may be out there by yourself because often live inside now.
Yes, you could buy flowers and try to wish her a belated birthday. It may work. Or she could leave you out there for a while to make you suffer.
In my experience, this idiom is often used when fighting couples.
It’s usually the man who is in the doghouse.
