<< review queue entry 55133 - submitted by 'vermillon' >> lit. it's more "to seat according to one's number" (of course that's what the def conveys, but not necessarily literal). Does it really mean "to admit criticism"? Isn't it usually used in the negative to tell people not to think criticism/comment/etc is aimed at them? Examples for "to accept one's social role"? As for "To put sb in his place", perhaps it's not the most common meaning? |
