Idiom

to act in a way that goes beyond the limits of what is allowed or accepted

What is the origin of the idiom "overstep the mark" and when to use it?

The idiom "overstep the mark" finds its origin in the concept of boundaries or markers that define acceptable behavior. It draws from the idea of physical markers or lines, like those in sports or games, which delineate the acceptable limits of play. It is used when individuals go too far in their actions, behavior, or remarks, causing offense, crossing social norms, or violating established rules.
