nailed    
 
Definition: To find or catch someone doing something wrong. 
 
Example:  1) Jimmy's father nailed him smoking cigarettes. 
2) After three years of counterfeiting treasury bonds, the FBI nailed 
the crime ring.
 
 
Etymology: A 'nail' is a small piece of metal that holds two pieces of 
wood together. When you get nailed, you and the thing you did wrong 
are attached together, for everyone to see.
