"My goose is cooked! >> "¡Mi ganso es cocino!?

Question

In english we say "My goose is cooked! when you are in trouble for doing something. Is there a similar phrase in spanish?

We also have a phrase, "What's good for the goose is good for the gander." which translates to "Lo que es bueno para el ganso es bueno para la gansa." Again, is there a similar phrase which says the same thing?

¡Ya se coció mi ganso! - AntMexico, MAY 31, 2010

I like this one. Thank you. - Nilda-Ballardo, MAY 31, 2010

Answer 1

Hi! do you want a version from some specific country? Answering your first request, in Mexico is said 'ya la regué', 'ya valió', 'ya metí la pata' and many more.

Not looking for a specific version. I know lots of idioms or phrases in English don't always translate and was just wondering what was used in spanish countries. Thank you. - Nilda-Ballardo, MAY 31, 2010

Answer 2

To cook somebody´s goose - Hacer la santísima a alguien.

I am not too sure about the conjugation but it might be something like,

Hizo la santísima a mi.
