Otryt' vareshku - lit. "to open the mitten." To harangue or berate someone. Usually used in the sense of someone doing to/at you.
Example: "I was drinking in the kitchen with the patsany when my wife came in and opened the mitten at me about the noise and the hour and the work tomorrow. So I told her that I got laid off today, and she opened the mitten at me some more about being unemployed."
