What is lost in the sauce?

"Lost in the sauce" is an informal phrase often used to describe a state of confusion or being overwhelmed by details. It can also mean becoming so engrossed in or distracted by the minutiae of a situation that the bigger picture is lost.

The phrase is commonly used in casual conversation and can apply to various contexts, from personal feelings of being overwhelmed to losing track of a conversation or project. It's also frequently used in popular culture and music, sometimes to describe getting caught up in things that don't matter or losing one's way due to distractions or external pressures.

The phrase gained wider recognition in part due to its use by rapper Gucci Mane, who popularized the expression in interviews and social media, often in a metaphorical sense related to lifestyle and success.
