[details=“English Translation”]I’ve made a mess.[/details]I had to look this up and found a phrase, “la frittata è fatta” as in, “the damage is done.” Saying that you’ve made a frittata doesn’t seem to carry the meaning through. Are there any native speakers out there that could weigh in on whether this sentence could be interpreted that way?

I have used this as “a mess”, also “Che pizza!” (what a mess!). There is also a phrase “Girare bene la frittata” - to turn the tables on someone. Ma non sono madrelingua, just adding my 2cents.
