What does reprimanded really mean?
Jay, it depends on the context. If an employer or school issues a reprimand, it generally involves an entry into your written records explaining what you did–from their point of view, and without any explanation from you. This kind of thing can follow you around as you transfer schools or seek a different job, especially if it’s serious. It can also mean to scold. Your mom’s probably reprimanded you a bunch of times.
