To be edged, but with dread;
Being repeatedly teased that
something dreadful or unpleasant might happen.
Example: “My girlfriend has been dredging me all week. She keeps saying
we need to talk but won’t tell me what’s up.”
“My girlfriend is dredging me so hard. She keeps saying
we need to talk but won’t tell me what’s up.”
“My
boss loves to dredge me, he
always waits till the last minute to give me my schedule.”
