Joder Arturo, reconozco la valía de Cortés pero compararlo con Hitchcock que debe de tener al menos media docena de obras maestras, en sus tiempos, con sus medios....vamos que estás meando fuera de tiesto total

(Quizá también con el sentido de "a tope" como un intensificador coloquial.)
"Aquello fue una pasada total" (Una pasada absoluta, algo fuera de serie sin restricciones...)

Hay otros ejemplos en el sentido de "absoluto/absoluta"
Me parece una meada fuera de tiesto total = (absoluta)

Este parece ser el origen de la expresión alterada.

Gracias, Pablo. Los casos de "pasada total" y "meada ... total", usan "total" como adjetivo, pero estoy de acuerdo con que ése debe ser el origen del uso extraño de la palabra.

Por acá se usa "mear fuera del tarro" aunque en contextos más formales yo prefiero decir "poner la regadera lejos de los malvones [geranios]" y barking up the wrong tree parece corresponder un poquito con una parte de los posibles usos.

En Chile también se usa "tarro".

In Spain "comerse el tarro" means to think a lot and/or be obsessed with something... Although if "tarro" is used in the expression "mear fuera del tarro" it would be understood correctly.
