While 'fatal' is used, you'll often hear 'de la patada' (like a kick) as a more colorful, local alternative for the same feeling. Argentines might use 'pésimo' or the slang 'para el orto' more often in casual speech, but 'fatal' is used for dramatic emphasis in storytelling. In Colombia, 'fatal' is often used to describe someone's outfit or style if it's considered very tacky or inappropriate.

English False Friend
Remember that in English, 'fatal' usually means someone died. In Spanish, it's much lighter in conversation.
