Colombian Spanish Slang: "Se Montó En El Patín"

It literally translates to "got on the scooter," but the phrase "se montó en el patín" is Colombian slang that means someone is getting carried away, exaggerating, or embellishing a story. It implies they're being dramatic or full of it.

Here's a breakdown:

• Montar: To ride, to get on
• Patín: Scooter, roller skate

Think of it like someone is riding a scooter and going too fast, losing control, and exaggerating their movements.

Example:

Él dijo que peleó con cinco tipos en la calle. ¡Se montó en el patín! (He said he fought five guys in the street. He's full of it!)

It's a common expression, used in informal settings.
