Top definition. beyond the pale. The phrase beyond the pale dates back to the 14th century, when the part of Ireland that was under English rule was delineated by a boundary made of such stakes or fences, and known as the English Pale.
The expression has often been claimed to originate in one or other of these pales, most often the Irish one, but the earliest appearance of 1720 for beyond the pale is very late if itâs linked to the Irish one and much too early for the Russian one.
