Cooked: This word has raced out of the kitchen and into teenagers' vocabulary.

What does it mean? That depends. Urban Dictionary states that "cooked" can mean someone is exhausted, high on marijuana or about to feel some consequences.

The phrase "we're cooked" usually has a negative connotation. Teens today might not know what it means when someone's "goose is cooked," meaning someone's in trouble, but it's similar to the current usage.

But it's not all bad! If someone is cooking, you should let them cook.

According to Know Your Meme, the phrases, "Let them cook" or "Let that boy cook" is when you let someone show off their talent, without interfering.

The website links the phrases to a rapper named Lil B and subsequent memes featuring Woody from "Toy Story," SpongeBob Squarepants and NFL player Russell Wilson.

Again, this meaning has its roots in the traditional definition of the word. According to Merriam-Webster, one meaning of cook is "to perform, do, or proceed well." For example, "He cooked on stage" or "You understand the math problem -- you're cooking!"

Now, if you "cooked" at something it might also mean you "ate" or "ate and left no crumbs," meaning that a person achieved greatness in some shape or form.

This colloquial use of the word "ate" and all its versions, according to the social media management company Later.com, "is believed to have emerged in the African American and LGBTQ+ communities in the 2000s."
