/Sounds like "sah" (as in "salsa") + "KAHR" (as in "car") + "DEH" (as in "debt") + "KEE" (as in "keep") + "syoh"/
To drive someone absolutely crazy or make them lose their patience completely. The phrase comes from "quicio," the hinge frame that keeps a door in place: when something pushes you out of your quicio, you are totally destabilized. Used across Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay.
“Ese ruido me saca de quicio, lleva tres horas sin parar. (That noise is driving me crazy, it's been going three hours straight.)”
“Le sacó de quicio con las mismas preguntas de siempre. (She drove him up the wall with the same questions over and over.)”
