order someone around(кем-либо; англ. выражение требует дополнения • You can't order me around just because Mom isn't here! • My friend at work got promoted, so now he thinks he can order me around.В.И.Макаров)
order someone about(кем-либо; англ. выражение требует дополнения; Here's a good example of it: 'I took no umbrage, accordingly, if umbrage is the thing you take when people start ordering you about, making allowances for his state of mind.' (P.G. Wodehouse) ART Vancouver)
lay down the law(Andrey Truhachev); ride herd on(Kuijpers looks at Barret. "Sir? Where do I fit in?" Barrett looks Kuijpers in the eyes. "As with anyone in this squad, it depends on the situation. When we operate as a single group, Sergeant Griffith will remain the senior NCO. If we split into smaller units, you may be required to act as a fire team leader, or assist myself or Lt. Dawes as necessary. Due to the nature of our missions, it's difficult for any one of us to have a single clearly defined role, with a few exceptions. For now, just ride herd on the squad, and make sure things get done." "At your orders, sir." Kuijpers gives a snappy salute and turns away.)
