lost in the sauce 

When you've got something going for you so good (money, women, fame, power, respect) that you become out of touch with reality and start: acting reckless, taking unnecessary risks, and get caught slipping.

Ex 1: Dude making so much money trapping that he starts to slip up and not take proper precautions.
Ex 2: Movie examples: Scarface, Paid in Full, Juice (fell in love w/ the gun), Wolf of Wall Street, Casino, Goodfellas
Ex 3: Dennis Schroder turning down 80m from the lakers because he wanted 100-120m.

The term was coined by Gucci mane: "If a man does not have sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can got lost in the sauce."

Let's break down what he means. "If a man does not have sauce, then he is lost." - with no sauce (money, women, fame, power, respect) then what is that man living for? He's lost. "But the same man can got lost in the sauce" - too much of a good thing can be detrimental.
OG: Nephew... I know you blowing up and doing ya thing, but never forget - DON'T GET LOST IN THE SAUCE.

tard sauce 

This sauce is every tard fam member's favorite sauce. It makes sense that it is their favorite because it seems to enhance the tard factor in each of them after being consumed. They do not have access to this sauce daily as it is a foreign substance but when a tard does get access to it, they will go crazy on the sauce. With weed, dabs are extremely potent, tard sauce is similar as it is the most potent influence and will cause many tard-outs. This sauce is peanut sauce.
Henry: Yo, since we're ordering Thai tonight, make sure we ask for a side of tard sauce, I mean peanut sauce, so we can satisfy our local tard fam member.
