A vulgar expression for being way off the mark, acting out of line, or completely misreading a situation. It implies someone is missing the point or making a comment that is totally inappropriate for the context (literally, to piss outside the pot).
You can't come saying that to me. You are meando fuera del tarro.
A phrase used to tell someone to mind their own business and stay out of a conversation where they do not belong. It indicates that an outsider's opinion carries no weight. (The expression refers to the expectation that spectators in games like card matches remain as silent and inert as wooden posts.)
- I think that... - No, no, no. Los de afuera son de palo. Don't meddle.
To cross a line or go too far. It is used when someone loses their temper, says something offensive, or loses control of a situation (the expression comes from car racing, referring to a vehicle losing control and sliding off the track onto the grass).
- I think we should just kill them all. - Whoa, no! Hold on, te fuiste al pasto.
A term used for someone who is completely clueless, oblivious, or out of the loop. It describes a person who is spaced out and lacks the mental sharpness to notice obvious details (the phrase literally means fallen from the bush).
Damn kid, you really are caido de la mata, you didn't realize today was a bank Monday (a specific holiday when banks close in Venezuela). / Daniel, you are so caido de la mata, come back to earth buddy, the exam is starting right now.
Describes someone who is completely clueless or has no idea what is happening around them. (Refers to the son of Charles Lindbergh, the aviator whose child was famously kidnapped; the name was adapted to Limber in the Dominican Republic).
When a group tells a well-known joke, the person who does not get it is mas perdido que el hijo de limber.
A term for someone who is lost, missing, or has been M.I.A. for a while. (Refers to Sobeida Felix Morel, a high-profile Dominican fugitive who was famously missing for a long period.)
But sobeida, where have you been? My brother, I am on the street you told me but I am more lost than sobeida.
