Rollicking

Thanks for explaining the situation. I'm going to give him the rollicking of his life.

He can give someone a right rollicking but it comes over as advice.

That night, back at the billet, Corporal Banks summoned me to his room and there I stood to attention, whilst he gave me a roasting for getting him a rollicking from the sergeant.

Tin Maung gave an order and in due course the head-waiter arrived, a rollicking Shan with shining bald head and Manchu moustaches, carrying a dish heaped with scrawny chickens' limbs, jaundiced with curry, a bowl of rice and a couple of aluminium plates.

The episode’s unwillingness to fully commit to the pathos of the Bart-and-Laura subplot is all the more frustrating considering its laugh quota is more than filled by a rollicking B-story that finds Homer, he of the iron stomach and insatiable appetite, filing a lawsuit against The Frying Dutchman when he’s hauled out of the eatery against his will after consuming all of the restaurant’s shrimp (plus two plastic lobsters).
