global warming :(
Some of us are more baked, though.
I wish I was right now.
I'm fried
based? based on what?
I asked my friend about this and he told me I'm a good Oregon for not knowing what it is... I dunno if he's right >~<
Nope, climate change Doc. Los Angeles is on fire and the icecaps are melting. Oh, and we just elected Biff president.
Nah, we elected the first timeline Marty's Dad and Biff is the head of DOGE.
it's Black American English not "gen z slang"
Hmm, looks like it has been used by a variety of people for a while. This is what I could find, but if you have a better source for that claim, I am open to correction.
it's Black American English
Ah, so that explains where my dead Scottish grandpa got it from then. Thought he'd only ever been to Wales, England, and Australia his whole life.
TIL.
Chat are we cooked?
No. Let him cook.
bro is getting cooked by the word cooked
chat we're cooked 💀
Cooked vs cooking
Take the perspective of things that get cooked.
If you're being cooked, things aren't exactly going your way... Others around you are having a great time though, dinner is served.
As to being sick of it; OP, you may be turning into a crotchety old man... Not cool dude; that's like, totally lame. :P
sorry, but if you're already sick of that word...
They know you’re allowed to say “fucked” right?
Makes more sense to me than "based" or "cap." Frfr.
I miss deep fried
What this means please.
"Cooked" is Gen Z slang, basically means "done."
-
"This guy's cooked." (He's had too much/he's out of it/he's screwed)
-
"I'm cooked, chat." (I'm out of options/it's over for me)
In the context of this meme, which is from the movie Back to the Future, Marty is in the past and using slang that hasn't entered popular use yet, so Doc thinks he's talking about cooking food and is confused about what he means.
Also not to be confused with similar "Let them cook" (they're onto something, let's see where this goes).
-
Aussie slang. Started as people who were cooked ie: fried their brains (could be drugs, more commonly nowadays brainrot from conspiratorial internet influences) , extends to other situations and a euphemism for "fucked"

UD is heavensent for people like me who have to use YT channels like Lessons in Meme Culture (LIMC) to keep up with the kids, but have typically no idea what the new slang means.
Oh shit, looks like OP is crashing out_!_
That's salty
Wait, is this actually how young people talk or are you gaslighting us?
Lingo and slang changes every decade or so. I don't know why people are surprised that the trends from when they are 14 are no longer cool.
It's not even every decade. It's basically every 3 weeks
I'm not surprised that language changes, I just never heard this particular phrasing before but judging from your offendedness, I guess it is used
Well, they didn't imply that it is surprising.
It's already time for "cooked" to be back in rotation again? Are kids just learning how to be cool from their parents now? Hell, not even, that one was last up no more than a decade ago.
What's next, the "-izzle" phase again?
If you're gonna bring something back, ressurect some of the old lost classics; like bodacious, gnarly, and groovy. Sick, cram, hip, mod, tubular, cranking... These have all been to rest long enough to come back before cooked.
Far out, man. Trippy take.

What’s next, the “-izzle” phase again?
Fo shizzle it izzle!
Ah, I liked it.
Squizzle ma nizzle to drain that pizzle. Aaand zip.
Washizzle those hands.
Youtube videos: This guy is COOKED! His career is OVER! (nothing is going to happen and everyone will forget in two days).
And where are they back from? Does everyone have time machines?
That's because everyone is cooking
