to row (a person) up
b. U.S. slang to row (a person) up: to subject (a person) to severe verbal castigation or abuse. Obsolete. [J. R. Bartlett in Dict. Americanisms (1848) says the phrase ‘is an essential Westernism, and [is] derived from the practice of making refractory slaves or servants row up..heavy keelboats..against the current... It was thus regarded as a punishment.’ But compare row v.6 3 in the same sense, with which there may have been some confusion.]
ΘΚΠ
the mind > attention and judgement > contempt > disapproval > rebuke or reproof > rebuke or reprove [verb (transitive)] > severely
