意思
To annoy or irritate someone to the point of losing their patience.
文化背景
In Spain, the phrase is often accompanied by a specific gesture: bringing the hand to the forehead or making a 'pinching' motion in the air to show tension. While 'sacar de quicio' is common, Mexicans might also use 'me saca de mis casillas' or 'me saca el tapón' (it takes my plug out) for similar levels of anger. Argentines often use 'sacar' in many idiomatic ways. 'Me saca' can sometimes be used alone as shorthand for 'it drives me crazy' in very informal slang. The phrase is a staple in Telenovelas, used by villains and protagonists alike to express the peak of a conflict.
