Practice not being too literal # 64

Question

As my title says, I am trying to learn to not be literal in translations, so every day I will post a saying in English and ask for suggestions as to how to convey the thought in Spanish. At the end of the day, I will pick the answer that I think most accurately reflects the idea, and I will choose it as best answer for 20 points to the respondent.

Today's phrase is, "your goose is cooked."

Have fun!

Answer 1

¡Te has cavado tu propia tumba!

¡Estás metido en serios problemas!

My grandmother used to say "Estás en salsa" meaning one was ready to get fried after misbehaving... lol

I like "Estás en salsa". - gringojrf, Oct 29, 2012

But is that salsa rojo or verde, or perhaps its a mole? If its a really good salsa it might be worth getting into. jajaja - gringojrf, Oct 29, 2012

Answer 5

I've never heard of the goose being cooked, other than for Christmas:

La comida está bien preparada?? ¡Darse prisa!

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
