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

/Sounds like "boh" (as in "boat") + "LAHR" (as in "lava") + "lah" (as in "lava")/

Meaning

To cross a line, go way too far, or do something that's clearly beyond acceptable limits. In Mexico, when someone 'la voló,' they pushed past every boundary without apology. It can be admirable if the excess is positive, but usually it's the opposite.

Examples

She went way too far with that comment.

He crossed every line, nobody wanted to deal with him after that.

Regional synonyms

An organized group of fans who support a team at the stadium with chants, flags, and shouts. The Mexican porra is unbridled passion every single weekend.
