Based also sorta meant woke for a bit before woke
Comment on "Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 day agoRizz = 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.’

I thought it was recognizing that the person acted/spoke their conscience, more or less

‘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.”

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.

Cooking - you are doing something good
Cooked, getting cooked - someone is messing around with you and you fall for it, kinda like this maybe could be better explanation.
“You are cooking” - you made a song, for example, and it was great song.
“You are cooked” - kinda like when you, as a child, do something bad and your parents are going to be mad when they find out — you are basically cooked.

“Let him cook” is more like “I wanna see where this is going”

I’d say “let him cook” is foolishness-agnostic. It could be good or bad, but it’s definitely unexpected

that is the creative part of the equation
