How about this: no one should be allowed to use terms in a language they can't speak... This definitely applies to you here.

Mise en place literally means "to put into place". So a server setting cutlery on tables IS doing his mise en place....

One definition of fricassée: "Mélange particulièrement confus de choses diverses". Which means a "confused mixture of diverse things".

There are a few other definitions of the word in French, culinary and other.
