As an old person today, I have no clue what these words mean. Assuming cooking has nothing to do with food. I’ve never heard rizz. I’ve at least heard people use based, though I don’t know its use.

Rizz = Charisma
Based = Cool; Awesome; Good.
Cooked = Fucked (as in up, not sexually).
Cooking = Doing something (usually good, but does not necessarily have to be).
Sincerely,
A 40 year old Millennial.

Based is like ‘unpopular, but I agree.’
OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I thought it was recognizing that the person acted/spoke their conscience, more or less

Based also sorta meant woke for a bit before woke

‘cooking’ specifically implies either creativity or efficacy (or both, some novel solution that results in success)

Ah but then there is the phrase “let him cook,” which tends to be used when someone starts doing something that seems foolish. I would think it at least somewhat relates to “cooking.” If you fail, you are “cooked.”

“Let him cook” is more like “I wanna see where this is going”
hypnicjerk@lemmy.world 7 months ago
that is the creative part of the equation
Ledivin@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’d say “let him cook” is foolishness-agnostic. It could be good or bad, but it’s definitely unexpected
foggy@lemmy.world 7 months ago
This version of cook seems aligned with “hold on.”
As in “it’s not yet apparent that what’s happening makes sense/is good.”
Where’s that tiktok linguist kid when ya need him.

I consider ‘based’ an opposite of ‘sour’ or ‘acidic’. That is, being alkaline and having high pH is considered socially desirable. Mixing based and sour personalities will naturally produce salt, that is, dried tears.
Cooking is a term for any time-consuming chemical reaction, which happens to include food preparation.
I have no chemistry-related explanation for rizz. Something to do with sparks?
