Like the difference between “it’s shit” and “it’s the shit”. Let Ismo explain
Or fucking (good), and getting fucked (bad).
I thought this was new slang by the presentation, but is this the same shit we had when i grew up?
“Now we’re cooking!” - good - things are going well
“Oh shit, youre cooked.” - bad - youre done for
Modern slang often seems to be recycled slang with a new cadence that makes it feel more Gen Z. There is some truly unique stuff too, but it’s kind of funny how just changing how you use a word in a sentence or with a specific inflection can make it feel fresher.
Yeah you still got it oldie 🎉🎉🎉

For me as a 39yo I feel like this one never really explaining. I’m pretty sure both cooked and cooking have been used in this way before. And I actually like it, I feel like they both express the thing pretty well.
Ya, I’m sure both of these are at least decades old.
One’s goose being cooked is an idiom from at least 200 years ago. The transfer of that meaning to generally being a single adjective rather than a full phrase is probably at least 100 years old.
And as more evidence, here’s an issue of Boys Life magazine, from August 1938, that uses the phrase “he’s cooked” to describe someone who is going to lose a sporting event. So it’s at least 87 years old, maybe older.
100% cooked has been around forever, and cooking has been a jazz term since… well jazz days
I intentionally misuse these around kids and they get so riled up about it.
Meanwhile being “the bomb” is good, but “bombing” is bad.
But if you’re “shit” that’s bad but “the shit” is good.
Also if you’re fucking, good for you, but if you’re fucked… Good for you as well.
She’s on to something, let her cook.
As an Australian, “cooked” has been in my vernacular for over a decade atp.
