Sauce and Source

Algunas palabras en inglés pueden crear confusión para los principiantes.

Some words in English can be confusing for learners.

This one is to practice the following words: S A U C E (noun) and S O U R C E (noun or verb)

Both native Spanish and English speakers may answer - but write both Spanish and English sentences.

I would appreciate some help in checking the Spanish sentences.

Agradecería una cierta ayuda en la comprobación de las oraciones españolas.

I will "accept" the best effort after about a week

Every attempt will get a vote.

NOTE - we would normally need 2 sentences, one in each language for each use of these words .

Examples:

Less of your sauce, young man!

¡No sea insolente, joven!

The news is from a reliable source.

La noticia proviene de una fuente fidedigna.

Pictures may help to explain the meanings.

I wonder how many meanings / uses we can find.

Futher explanation as to the different meanings / uses may be given.

Please do not suggest new words - but pictures are welcome.

This is the previous challenge
