So much for
Someone I know was exaggerating about being sad and depressed and feeling suicidal, so one of his friends wrote: "So much for a tantrum".
Would the intention of this expression be "that's enough" or rather something sarcastic like "that's not even a tantrum"? Any help, as usual, will be highly appreciated.

It is sarcastic.. we'd say something like "pues si eso es una rabieta....." with 'certain' intonation. It would be helpful if someone had a better translation..

It is definitely a sarcastic phrase. I don't have a good Spanish translation though.
"So much for your plans" would be a sarcastic way of saying "Your plans are ruined" |

Thank you!
I've come to love this expression. Talking about a beauty contest where the queen fell down the stage, someone commented "So much for a diva"... As I understand it, this would be saying something like "so that's what's left of a diva", right?

Since "diva" is about the attitude and demeanor of the woman, if she makes a fool of herself, she can't continue the "I'm better than you" attitude. |
