Talk:take too far

@Equinox Hello. Could you review this? --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 11:54, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

I think "contexts where it was not meant to be applied" is slightly off: that suggests doing something in the wrong scenario (like telling jokes at a funeral?), whereas the phrase means doing something too much or too often (an escalating war of pranks that ends in something cruel and unreasonable?).

(Speaking of "slightly off": French Wiktionary has an interesting entry for off in French, but we have no French section. Want to tackle it?) Equinox ◑ 02:13, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
