Meanings and usage

verb: to tattle, to complain to a superior, to report someone
告狀

Wiktionary's dialectal synonym table suggests Teochew typically uses 拍官司 for the 'file a lawsuit' sense, so 告狀 here likely corresponds mainly to the 'tattle on/complain to a superior' sense rather than litigation, though this isn't fully certain.
