Hi Marcia:

>< lol >!!!!!! Andy told me that in the UK, to tick someone off meant to tell them off or to scold them.

I was thinking about this last night <s>. Andy is correct - when you tick someone off, you are effectively telling them off or scolding them. Conversly, when someone else gets you ticked or you are ticked with someone else, they have made you angry. So, its all down to context <s>.
