Me tiene hasta los huevos
I'm sick of him/her/it
Me tiene hasta los huevos con la música a las tres de la mañana.
After your neighbor blasts music every night for a week, you complain to a friend using this line.
Literally, it means "he/she/it has me up to the eggs," with "huevos" being slang for testicles.
In practice, it means you're completely fed up, sick to death of someone/something, beyond your limit. It's very common in Spain and pretty vulgar, so it's for informal settings. People also say "estar hasta los huevos" or soften it as "hasta las narices" (less crude). The intensity depends on tone: it can be comedic complaining or genuine anger.
"Me tiene hasta los huevos" does not mean i'm impressed with you, i need you to stop, he is such a liar. It specifically means "I'm sick of him/her/it".
