à toutes les sauces
Litterally, the phrase translates as "with all the sauces". Take the sentence, "Employer un mot à toutes les sauces." In English, "Use a word very loosely."
Consider, "Les politiciens utilisent cette expression à toutes les sauces," which translates as "Politicians use this expression loosely."
