Significado
To talk to someone at length, often scolding.
Contexto cultural
The 'wykład' is a staple of Polish parenting. It is often seen as a more 'intellectual' way of disciplining children compared to just shouting. In actual universities, students often use 'zrobić wykład' to describe a professor who went off-topic and started preaching about life. Hierarchy is important in Poland. A boss giving a 'wykład' is a common way to assert authority without being overtly aggressive. On Polish Twitter or Facebook, 'robić wykład' is used to mock people who write very long, condescending comments.
Use it with 'znowu'
Adding 'znowu' (again) makes it sound much more natural and expresses the typical frustration of a learner. 'Znowu robisz mi wykład!'
Watch your tone
If you say this to a superior, it is very disrespectful. Only use it with people you are close to or when complaining behind someone's back.
