to be loaded, to be in serious trouble (context-dependent)expressioncolloquialIn this episode the expression 'cuando las cosas van mal dadas' appears rather than this one; however 'mal dadas' itself is the idiom worth capturing. Ir mal dadas means things are going badly, the situation is turning against you, or circumstances are unfavourable. A fixed phrase with no compositional meaning from its parts.
Cuando las cosas van mal dadas, lo mejor es mantener la calma y buscar soluciones.When things are going badly, the best thing is to stay calm and look for solutions.

me cago en todo
expression of strong frustration, roughly 'damn it all'expressionvulgarA very common venting expression in colloquial speech. The verb cagarse (literally 'to defecate on') forms the base of a whole family of Spanish exclamations used to vent anger or exasperation. The specific object ('todo', 'la leche', 'diez', etc.) intensifies or varies the register slightly, but they all signal the same emotional release. Perfectly normal in informal conversation among friends, though out of place in polite or formal contexts.
Me cago en todo, otra vez han cancelado el tren y llego tarde al trabajo.Damn it all, they've cancelled the train again and I'm going to be late for work.no te jode
expression of sarcasm or disbelief, roughly 'you don't say' or 'no kidding'expressionvulgarA rhetorical exclamation used when someone states something obvious, or when a situation is annoyingly unsurprising. The tone is heavily sarcastic. Joder is the underlying verb and gives the phrase its vulgar edge. Very common in everyday informal speech but inappropriate in professional or formal contexts.
— Han vuelto a subir la gasolina. — No te jode, con lo que estaba ya...— Petrol prices have gone up again. — You don't say, given how high they already were...
