Cooked
Anyone else noticed how everything is cooked all of the sudden?
shareI don't know what you mean and what that term means other than it's original meaning.
Signed, million man.
Over the last several months, the word cooked has gone viral. The meaning is exactly what you’d expect — it means it’s done, it’s ruined, it’s fucked, we’re in trouble, etc. While the term has existed for decades, it wasn’t widely used until around 2023, when the younger generation picked it up and started using it in their circles. In the last six months, it exploded into mainstream slang, and now everyone is saying it. I even heard Jimmy Dore use it today, which means it’s officially reached older Gen Xers — and the boomers won’t be far behind.
Anyway, now that I’ve drawn your attention to it, you’ll probably start noticing it everywhere. You’re welcome.

You'll never see me using it, like the stupid expression, "my bad."
shareAgree with you on "my bad". Not to be racist, 🤣, but it's ignorant negro slang and makes no grammatical sense.
"Cooked" has been around forever. I think it predates Boomers. I'm sure everyone's heard the phrase "we're cooked".
Two of my best friends from grade school up through high school were black. Blacks have their own, unique style of expression. I'm a boomer and I have a vague recollection that "cooked" might have come from "The Beat Generation." Maynard G. Krebs, was a beatnik and his catchphrase was, "Like wow, man!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlVcrsjHPbg 😁
shareI've read that blacks create something like 90% of American slang. We whites need a source to help us escape our neat correct little box.
Yeah, love the Maynard character. Gilligan's best role! 🤣
