Bandera de Argentina

/IR-se al PAS-to/

To go way overboard, exaggerate to the point of absurdity, or say something so disproportionate it becomes ridiculous. In Argentina, when someone 'se fue al pasto,' they left reasonable territory far behind — their reaction, their claim, or their behavior has gone way off the reservation.

Example

"You went way too far with that reaction — it was nothing."

"He went completely overboard in the meeting and said things he can't take back."

Regional synonyms:

Nicaragüense, persona de Nicaragua. Es la forma informal, corta y cariñosa de referirse a alguien de ese país, usada con orgullo tanto por los propios nicaragüenses como por cualquiera en Centroamérica.
