Idiomatic expression: OFF THE CHARTS

Meaning of the expression off the charts

Part of speech: adjective

If something is called off the charts, it is considered to be exceptionally good. It meets high standards and is beyond expectations. We often call a thing, an event, or someone’s ability to do something (skills) off the charts; we can’t call someone off the charts.

Also, the expression is usually used in a positive situation but can be used for a negative circumstance too.
