A Mexican expression for someone who's freaked out, disoriented, or mentally somewhere else. The literal idea is being 'pulled out of your wavelength,' as if your brain got disconnected from reality for a moment. It describes anyone reacting weirdly, losing their train of thought, or just acting off.
