Talking tos
Hi
"Fulham captain Brede Hangeland, the only player to be cautioned so far at Old Trafford today, is phenomenally lucky not to be shown the red card - his crunching tackle from the side on Robin van Persie results in the sternest of talking tos from the referee." [From the BBC Sport website.]
Is the "talking tos" a plural form of the gerund "talking to"?
Thank you.
