peer agreement (net): +2has been doing his head in Explanation: Although most dictionary definitions will try to define this expression as irritating, frustrating or angering, it can be used with a wider sense of putting thoughts into someone's head, whether by nagging or merely by suggestion. I think this latter meaning could work in the query context. In my hometown of Glasgow, we tend to say "nipping someone's head" with the same meaning. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 29 mins (2019-01-26 18:48:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "That detective's been doing Jacob's head in…". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2019-01-26 18:49:44 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another option could be "That detective's been putting thoughts into Jake's head..."
