Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "AH" (as in "art") + "TOH" (as in "toll") + "peh" (as in "pet")/

Meaning

At maximum capacity, completely full, or pushed to the limit in Spain. Whether a packed venue, a slammed work week, or someone giving everything they have got, "a tope" means there is no room left for anything more.

Examples

The bar was packed to the brim, nobody else could fit.

We are completely maxed out with work this week, impossible to make plans.

A tricky, scheming person who uses deception and hidden moves to get an advantage. In Ecuador, Colombia, and Peru, a mañoso never plays it straight: there is always something extra on the bill you did not order, or a clause in the deal you did not notice. The opposite of someone you can trust at face value.
