Spanish term or phrase: anda hasta la chinga
An exclamation made by a Mexican speaker.
skam
English translation:he/she has fuckin' had it
Explanation:
This is not a phrase that respectable Mexicans would want to utter in front of their grandmothers. So in keeping with the spirit of the obscenity, here you go! I agree with others who have commented that a context would be helpful. In the right circumstances, this could also be rendered as "he/she is really in deep shit now!"

he/she is up to here/is full up


Explanation:
It would be very nice to have some more CONTEXT, however, to fit it into. So this is just the best approximation I can give with no CONTEXT.

he/she has had it


Explanation:
A shorter way of saying 'had it up to here (with something/someone)'.
But really need to see the rest of the phrase!
