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

/Sounds like "pah" (as in "park") + "SAHR" (as in "salsa") + "seh" (as in "set")/

Meaning

To go too far, overstep a limit, or cross an unspoken line. In Spain, "te pasaste" is what you say when someone exceeds acceptable behavior: the joke went too far, the comment was out of line, or someone pushed things past the point of no return.

Examples

You went too far with that comment, it was completely unnecessary.

He crossed a line at the party and the night ended very badly.

Regional synonyms

The written variant of 'po,' Chile's signature filler word added to the end of sentences for emphasis. It makes everything sound unmistakably Chilean and adds that distinctive Chilean flavor.
