Nice+. Any reference ?

Hi!

English Contemporary Dictionary 2014 defines it as 'humiliate someone'. But I remember having seen it in the Babylon in a similar meaning as in Farsi. I could also find a very old but really precious book by شاپور اردشیرجی who has translated this into the same meaning as I've written above.

Regards! :-)

Put someone in their place: To show Sb that they are not as clever or important as they think they are (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English)

ex:I soon put him in his place.
