Nope, climate change Doc. Los Angeles is on fire and the icecaps are melting. Oh, and we just elected Biff president.
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 >~<
Some of us are more baked, though.
I’m fried
I wish I was right now.
Chat are we cooked?
global warming :(
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
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.
“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?
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!)
Makes more sense to me than “based” or “cap.” Frfr.
That’s salty
Oh shit, looks like OP is crashing out_!_
chat we’re cooked 💀
bro is getting cooked by the word 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
What this means please.
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”
“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).
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.
And where are they back from? Does everyone have time machines?
