EN: taller than a person; above human height
That feeling when you're trying to describe how high the floodwaters were. 'Bes, lampas-tao 'yung baha sa amin!' It's the ultimate measurement for things that are way, way taller than you, like a basketball player, a huge wave, or the pile of laundry you've been ignoring.
From a combination of 'lampas' (beyond) and 'tao' (person).
Often used to describe the height of floodwaters, overgrown grass, or very tall structures.
