It's a wonderful phrase, by the way. It reminds me of Terry Pratchett's writings, one of my favorite authors. Another way to say that same thing would be "just over the line."

2007年1月8日 · Hola a todos: tengo una duda referente a los términos "No aceptable/ inaceptable": Se puede usar indistintamente "not acceptable" y "unacceptable" o, al igual que en español "not aceptable" se considera más suave (más "light") que "inacceptable" que puede ser un poco brusco?.
