Cách sử dụng
The expression "a slap on the wrist" means a light punishment or reprimand for someone who has done something wrong or made a mistake. It is often used in informal settings to suggest that the punishment is not severe enough to deter the person from repeating the same mistake in the future. For example, if someone is caught cheating on a test and the teacher gives them a small fine, someone might say they just got "a slap on the wrist" and will likely cheat again.
