global warming :(
Some of us are more baked, though.
I wish I was right now.
I’m fried
it’s Black American English not “gen z slang”
a lot of online (which is where gen z stuff comes from) culture is just black american culture, it’s not particularly different from how most european languages have a bunch of french loan words.
it’s really different actually since other Europeans adopting french terms is a result of french colonialism conferring an allure of prestige to french terms. the reason Europeans were desperate to integrate french culture was because they also wanted to enjoy the spoils of colonialism.
whereas people using BAE outside of its cultural context perpetuates a relationship of parasitic colonial extraction, not of symbiotic cultural exchange as most white people would claim
Or, like, white Americans adopting any other culture from black Americans.
That’s how it usually goes. AAVE -> widely used slang
Always has been
Now that’s jive
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.
All American counter culture comes from the black community.
Counter-culture? I’d go as far as saying most American culture ultimately comes from the Black community. It’s usually either them or the queers (and quite often, Black queers!)
“Gen Z” is American, “Black Americans” is American.
I don’t see the difference. 's both American.
you seriously think there’s no difference between Black Americans using this term since the 70’s and white kids on TikTok appropriating language?
A late response, but no. Since both Gen Z and Black Americans live in the same nation, and share a culture, I don’t see why I should differentiate between them.
I bet Kai Cenat popularized it, as well as “rizz”, “fanum tax” and “gyat”. If you don’t like it, take it up with Mr Cenat.
Black culture isn’t “shared”. you’re living in this fantasy reality where racism doesn’t exist and Black culture is just as respected as European cultures
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 >~<
Chat are we cooked?
bro is getting cooked by the word cooked
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.
chat we’re cooked 💀
sorry, but if you’re already sick of that word…
They’re cooked.
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

Awesome! Thank you so much!
I remember the cene from the movie lol
And if things weren’t confusing enough, the post didn’t mention cooked can also be positive. “You cooked” meaning you did excelled at something.

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.
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”
Makes more sense to me than “based” or “cap.” Frfr.
Oh shit, looks like OP is crashing out_!_
