Next time you’re in trouble or under pressure, you can use this new phrase. Literally, it means you are in the oven —you can try and easily imagine how it feels.

Se me rompió el auto y tengo que pagar un fangote de guita. Estoy en el horno.

Entre los problemas de guita y la separación con Sandra, Guille está en el horno.

As is often the case, there are other options, too:

• Estoy hasta las manos.
• Estoy re jugado.
• Tengo el agua al cuello.
• Estoy complicado.

Hope you don’t go in the oven soon.
