Reprimand ( Informal ) (7-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talking-to

(Other definitions for talking-to that I've seen before include "Session of criticism" , "Give someone a good ....... .. as a reproof" , "Criticism from one in authority" , "Dressing-down" , "Sharp reprimand (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
