naughty list
Bad kids' registry
The naughty list is Santa Claus's registry of children who have misbehaved and therefore won't receive presents at Christmas—the opposite of the nice list.
The concept extends to any informal tally of wrongdoers or people in disfavor: After that stunt, you're on my naughty list.
To be on someone's naughty list is to have fallen out of their good graces.
