/Sounds like the English word "tasaj" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/

Meaning

In Colombia, to criticize someone mercilessly and often publicly, tearing their work or reputation apart in a way that leaves them feeling completely destroyed. A tasajeo in a meeting can hurt far more than a direct confrontation.

Examples

They tore him apart in the meeting over that terrible report.

Don't rip into him like that in front of everyone; talk to him privately.
