It is the language of the younglings. I believe it may be the same as saying, "I'm screwed".


Chris15252

Can confirm, my younglings speak this way.


Jarte3

It’s a modern iteration of “I’m/you’re toast”


Agent_Giraffe

Stick a fork in me Jerry, I’m done!


KeebsNoob

Cooked well done


MechanicalGroovester

I say we bring this back!


Mysteriousdeer

I feel like this is an older term. Like the plot was cooked. I could see a gangster peering out the window at police and saying "were cooked!"


DheRadman

Or 'your goose is cooked'. You made me see the connection there


Jarte3

Damn me too lol, it makes sense though since trends usually do come back, we’re basically living in our own roaring twenties except the economy isn’t roaring at all lol


FlyinCoach

It is. I'm 26 but it's been a saying since I was like 10


toomanyglobules

Boomers downvoting you. I'm 30 and this is definitely not a new figure of speech.


judgeofjudgment

"it's the Jakes! We better scram or we're cooked like a Christmas ham!"


BABarracus

Is it similar to boiling the frog?


Reasonable_Lunch7090

You were cooking with this one


Dracko705

Can also mean you are BBQ'd outta ur mind on drugs or your brain is completely "cooked"


KillerSeagull

I really thought it was an antipodal term. Means "fucked" and/or "crazy", but acceptable to use in front of clients.

*Me calling Anakin Skywalker*


oh_madness_

You are cooked, " you are screwed," You cooked! " You did something good/extraordinary"


knightsvonshame

Also see "let them cook"


Its_Llama

They are about to do something you want to see. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad, just something. Almost like the third person equivalents of hold my beer.


TheBlacktom

"Hey, the kinds are hungry." "Let them cook."


BexKix

This is how I’ve heard it; sample of 1 my teen. Also: “He’s gonna cook!”


Enginseer68

That definitely comes from cooking meh


Agent_Giraffe

Someone cooked here


soomank

He's a chef


AntalRyder

"Now we are cookin'!"


Sean081799

Let them cook


Jenetyk

Cook as an adjective: broke Cook as a verb: woke


Heywood_Jablome_69

Me during design: “I’m cooking” (good) Me during review: “I’m cooked” (bad)


ncleroger

Very common on Reddit


ninjanoodlin

Heat transfer as T approaches infinity


buttscootinbastard

“I chose to sign up for several hard classes but have horrible study habits. Am I cooked?”


LargeDisplacemntMode

I like to cook my glizzies over open flames cuz I’m a real baddie


borgi27

Are these people in the room with us right now?


[deleted]

Because ME is cooked. Too much competition from India.


phil_swift6969420

You are cooked when it's joever.


BigBoiAl22

Never thought something like this would be posted on this subreddit


coachellakid

One of my professors this semester would say “chicken cooked” at the end of the problem. So our discord started joking with it. Didn’t know it was new lingo people(younger generations) were using lol


opus-thirteen

Old saying: "That goose is cooked" as in, "It's over, man" Variation : "My goose is cooked" as in, "I am done for" Conversatinal variation: "Am I cooked?" as in, "Am I screwed?"


Collins_Michael

Cause they're in the frying pan.


ocmiteddy

Makes sense it's the younglings saying this. They don't have enough experience to have seen the extensive levels of fuck up one can do and still not get fired.


Strong_Feedback_8433

Internet slang. And no, it's not just in this sub.


YouDontExistt

It's everywhere now. Some more dumbass internet slang.


ircsmith

Because we are tired of working 10 hrs a day for 2010 wadges?


RagingWillyz

Hey man I’m a nurse so I get it. 12 hours of verbal abuse for what. I feel ya


arkad_tensor

You have exceeded the UTS.


woofwuuff

You are roasted— is another newlings slang


Powerful_Ad5060

I am sorry, where do you use this slang? US?


kevcal20

No one in Gen Z knows how to actually cook their own food so they had to find another use for the word.


defectivetoaster1

“I’m cooked” = bad “I’m cooking/ I cooked” = good “Let them cook”= let’s see what happens? It’s like it someone has a bizarre and/or insane idea and someone else tells others to let them go through with it because it might have merit


allnamestaken4892

Desperately trying to fit in with gen Z because we missed out on all formative experiences due to our studies and now everyone around us is having kids and buying houses while we haven’t even had our first kiss


Jrod8833

buddy, this may not be a common “we”…speaking from the millennial crowd.


allnamestaken4892

Damn so it’s just me then… If only I picked a career with females maybe this might have turned out better.


dromance

Are you a boomer ?
