'Goated with the sauce' is hip-hop and sports slang for someone who is exceptionally skilled and has a distinctive style — 'GOAT' (greatest of all time) plus 'sauce' (style, flair). 'He's goated with the sauce' is high praise. If your teen uses it, they are praising someone's elite ability and style. Harmless and celebratory.
