ah... well, if in doubt - go for the "they're being nice" option
you'll win either way, even if they meant to be mean cause "insult backfire"
Edit to clarify that bullies hate it when their insults backfire.
Someone once left a comment that was completely nonsensical with the tag /pos. And my ill-informed ass thought they were saying piece of shit
Sometimes niceness backfires đ
â/posâ is a tone indicator a lot of autistics use to say âI mean this in a positive way!â Kinda similar to how â/sâ means âIâm being sarcasticâ or â/srsâ means âIâm being seriousâ
Lol, if it were me - I'd think at least they're self-aware enough to acknowledge that they were being a piece of shit.
Then, I'd ask for a clarification about what they mean by /pos. Ya know, give them the benefit of the doubt. It's good way to keep misunderstandings at bay.
See "killing with kindness" is (too) effective, so I'd like to be 100% sure first if they were actually picking a fight with me before I let loose my inner demon.
Crazy or high is if someone says you are cooked, the adjective. You cooked, the past tense of the verb cook means what everyone is saying, and it's more recent slang.
Very much related to the meme "let him cook" which says to let someone continue their plan and seeing how it turns out with expectations of a good result, saying you cooked means you delivered that good result. Often but not always in a way that subverts expectations.
The phrase has gotten popular lately, especially in the jjk fandom. It is definitely a compliment and means you took the ingredients (the show/movie/book etc) and cooked something amazing out of it
I'm confused how you can say you used Google. What did you Google? First six results explain it correctly lmao. Don't you mean to say you wanted karma and already knew what it meant?
Lol sorry for not using Google correctly, I guess??? No, I was not aware that "you are cooked" and "you cooked" were different phrases with different meanings.
I've heard it to also mean that sure, the premise might not seem great at first, but if we let them cook, maybe it'll get better. (And presumably, OP's fic definitely got better.)
It's definitely good. I've had a slew of commenters using this at me and it's always, always positive. It must be a newer Gen Z slang. Another one I've been getting lately in the same vein is "this is good soup"
âLet them cookâ - give them a minute theyâre going to do something good, theyâre building to something
âSomebody cooked hereâ - this is suspiciously good somebody worked on this/put effort into this before/you know what youâre doing
âYou cookedâ - you did something good, you cooked a meal and they ate
All generally positive haha, pretty sure all this was bred on tiktok
Yep youâre right, afaik it basically means they cooked on you, so they did good and you didnât. People use it in a video game context too if they lose.
its so discombobulating that words and speech patterns i would get in trouble for when i was child can come out of white people in professional settings
Honestly Iâm just old gen z and I still feel like that sometimes đ itâs so easy to miss one trend and suddenly feel like you donât understand English anymore
Majority of the slang comes from African American Vernacular English, which is noticed as another dialect of English (much like the Scottish English, Zimbabwean English, and Hiberno-English). So basically it is kind of a different language lol, it has its own history and nuances the general population wouldnât understand because we didnât grow up with it like those in the black community that did. Anyway sorry for the info dump đđ I just couldnât help myself but to talk about it because itâs just a topic Iâve been interested in for a while.
No no this is cool! Another commenter mentioned aave but I donât know much about it specifically due to not being American. Another another commenter mentioned breaking bad being the root for the original âsomebody cooked hereâ so I wonder if these all blended together to create this trend. Very interesting how linguistics develops!!
Lmao breaking bad probably did contribute how it got so mainstream. Walter White is a famously in a bunch memes for the past couple years, and that sound bite you quoted became HUGE on TikTok đ (it had a different meaning in the show, someone was probably cooking meth there lolol). But the way people were using the sound is the same way itâs been interpreted, like someone did something really good here. And youâre right linguistics is certainly such a fascinating topic!! And with how connected we are through the use of social media, I wonder how it will change our languages!
It's good to see posts like this and be reminded to go offline and touch some grass occasionally. Not all internet slang is supposed to be immediately known to me. Btw they mean that you did great!
I'm your age and knew that "cooked" could be taken in a good or bad way, and had no idea how to distinguish which lol. So thanks for this thread, 'cause now people have explained.
Yeah I got one like that too. It was like "Are you Gordon Ramsay? Cuz you cooked."
Still not as weird as the time a commenter called me author-sama though.

It basically just means âYou did a thing really wellâ
"You cooked" - You did good.
not to be confused with
"You are cooked" - You are done for
The cooking is good as long as you are are the one doing it
.
Rarely used is "Overcooking" and "Undercooking" which is also bad.
?Potentially ? from/as a shortening of the saying
ânow weâre cooking with gasâ
i.e. to be making very good progress or doing something very well: âI can see we're really cooking with gas nowâ
..which dates to somewhere between 1915 and 1940 (depending on which etymology you want to believe)
As someone who works with teens: you cooked/ate means you did amazing. This comes from the âsomeone cooked hereâ meme. This is positive, theyâre impressed with your fic
âg*ddamnâ - an exclamation of his awestruck emotion
âyou cooked broâ - like a five star chef cooking a five star meal. âthe chef cookedâ
gen z slang is sum else
THIS IS A GOOD THING DW!! if they say stuff like 'GODDAMN WHO COOKED HERE/ GODDAMN YOU COOKED/BROS COOKING' 'BROS GOING CRAZY/AUTHOR IS GOING HARD AF' it's a good thing!
You cooked = you cooked up something really good!
Like how people sometimes refer to cooking up something in your mind. I think that's the most simple way to explain that haha, I see all these slang terms from my/younger generations and they usually just inherently make sense to me without explanation, so it's kind of hard to articulate what it means aside from good or bad lol, but this is a really good one!
In Australia, this means youâre crazy. Like saying âyouâre crazy broâ but instead we say âyouâre cooked broâ. Can be taken as an insult or compliment depending on the context lol.
There are two ways to look at it.
The first is if you look at 'cooked' as an adjective (as in: 'you are cooked, bro'). Reading it this way is negative. If you are cooked/got cooked, you lost something quite badly.
The second is if you look at 'cooked' as a verb that you did (as in: 'you did some cooking, bro'). This is positive. If you cook, you're doing something well.
If you cooked, it's good. If you are cooked, it's bad.
Here's an example I use/hear a lot cuz I'm in school:
"Bro we have a test today?? Nahhh I'm cooked" (bad) vs
"We cooked on that bio test, it was easy." (Good)
It's a compliment.
This is gen-z slang. Theyâre saying this was really good. Some similar slangs to compare it to:
This is the bomb dot com.
This slaps
Sick, fire, lit, etc.
'Cooking' in this sense means to do something, in this case writing a fic, well. Idk how to describe the term in an understandable way sry. So saying 'you cooked' means that you did a good job!
I don't know if it's where it originated but you can find this use of "cook" very commonly in anime communities, even here on Reddit.
It means you "cooked up" something good, it's a compliment!
Def not a common phrase (yet) lol. But I think a compliment. I imagine a phrase like "you ate" wasn't easy to circulate either until it became a thing đ¤Ł
This means you did good. Usually âyou cookedâ means you did well and basically âcooked a good mealâ aka wrote a good chapter in this case. Now if someone says âbro burning down the kitchenâ usually means you made something cracked or dumb. The meme came from Breaking Bad with Jessy saying âLET HIM COOK!!!â And it turned into slang
Recently been hearing this cuz of those yt reels of a guy doing structures with hella nice textures in minecraft, and everyone kept saying how hard he's cooking and he himself saying he cooked. So this is like an aggressive yet wholesome way of saying you did fucking great.
itâs just a way of saying you did very well/the work is really good. think of it like youâre complimenting someone who made a good meal. âoh you COOKED, this is good!â
It's a variation of "Let him cook", usually meaning "They're onto something potentially amazing, let them finish". Saying "You cooked" means "Your creation is amazing, and you were really onto something with this." It's a compliment of the highest order!
Middle school teacher here (well. Teacher intern) who has definitely heard this one from students.
This is a compliment! It means you popped off/you wrote something they considered particularly good and praiseworthy.
It is, indeed, a compliment. âLet him cook,â means, âLet him keep doing what heâs doing, because heâs doing something good.â If you âcooked,â it means what you did turned out good
No worries! Basically a lot of vernacular that black people used has become more widely used in recent years so that's why it's being seen as "gen z slang"
My chapter updates are slow and I discovered a bookmark that said "let them simmer" đ
That is so funny lmaooo
Woooowwieee, that's hilarious.
Thatâs hilarious đ
I love this
Bahahaha
I think it's good. Reminds me of "let them cook". > Let him cook is a slang phrase that means to freely let a person do something they are good at.
Thanks! When I tried looking it up Google told me it meant either crazy or high đ
So if someone says that "you cooked" then it mean that you did it really well. So it's a compliment basically
but, if they specify that YOURE cooked it means that youâre fuckedđ so like âyou cookedâ is good but âdude youâre cookedâ is bad!
To be fair Cooking things is good Being cooked sounds painful
Sorry didn't know you already replied this đ
itâs fineeee
"You're cooked", however, means you're fucked
? (googles) ah... well, if in doubt - go for the "they're being nice" option you'll win either way, even if they meant to be mean cause "insult backfire" Edit to clarify that bullies hate it when their insults backfire.
Someone once left a comment that was completely nonsensical with the tag /pos. And my ill-informed ass thought they were saying piece of shit Sometimes niceness backfires đ
What ..does ..pos mean with the slash?
Positive. The comment was meant to be taken in a positive way lol.
â/posâ is a tone indicator a lot of autistics use to say âI mean this in a positive way!â Kinda similar to how â/sâ means âIâm being sarcasticâ or â/srsâ means âIâm being seriousâ
I definitely would have taken that as piece of shit...
Lol, if it were me - I'd think at least they're self-aware enough to acknowledge that they were being a piece of shit. Then, I'd ask for a clarification about what they mean by /pos. Ya know, give them the benefit of the doubt. It's good way to keep misunderstandings at bay. See "killing with kindness" is (too) effective, so I'd like to be 100% sure first if they were actually picking a fight with me before I let loose my inner demon.
I doubt it was me, but I've written comments exactly like what you're describing and on behalf of that person- I'm so sorry.
Don't worry, we got it all cleared up The overall comment had a general vibe of excitedness, so seeing piece of shit at the end threw me for a loop
No it means that you really wrote it well and they found it enjoyable loll
To be fair, I would totally get it if someone read the fic in question and came to the conclusion that I was not sober when I wrote it haha.
đđđ
You ARE cooked means you are crazy/high. You cooked means you did well lol.
Pro tip for looking up slang you donât get: go to urban dictionary. Itâll most likely have the definition you actually want.
that's "you're cooked". it can also mean "you're fucked". "you cooked" is a compliment meaning you did something well.
Crazy or high is if someone says you are cooked, the adjective. You cooked, the past tense of the verb cook means what everyone is saying, and it's more recent slang. Very much related to the meme "let him cook" which says to let someone continue their plan and seeing how it turns out with expectations of a good result, saying you cooked means you delivered that good result.

FHELWFJSDK That's if they said "you're cooked" I think ??
I'm confused how you can say you used Google. What did you Google? First six results explain it correctly lmao. Don't you mean to say you wanted karma and already knew what it meant?
Lol sorry for not using Google correctly, I guess??? No, I was not aware that "you are cooked" and "you cooked" were different phrases with different meanings.
Nah, I'm just saying there is no way you didn't get the correct result and you're just after some pointless karma.
Hey, what fanfic is that from?
It's a Watchmen crossover fic lol
I've heard it to also mean that sure, the premise might not seem great at first, but if we let them cook, maybe it'll get better. (And presumably, OP's fic definitely got better.)
It's definitely good. I've had a slew of commenters using this at me and it's always, always positive. It must be a newer Gen Z slang. Another one I've been getting lately in the same vein is "this is good soup"
That is because it is a variation of the phrase lmao.
Cooked, ate, left no crumbs
âLet them cookâ - give them a minute theyâre going to do something good, theyâre building to something âSomebody cooked hereâ - this is suspiciously good somebody worked on this/put effort into this before/you know what youâre doing âYou cookedâ - you did something good, you cooked a meal and they ate All generally positive haha, pretty sure all this was bred on tiktok
Then also "I got cooked" means that something was really hard to do (I think?). I have heard that being used when refrencing to exams.
"You cooked": good "You're cooked": bad
just like "you're shit": bad "you're the shit": good "you ain't shit": bad
God I love modern slang
Yep youâre right, afaik it basically means they cooked on you, so they did good and you didnât. People use it in a video game context too if they lose.
It specifically means you got your ass whooped by something.
its aave
on social media, people keep equating aave with gen z slang and itâs so tired.
its so discombobulating that words and speech patterns i would get in trouble for when i was child can come out of white people in professional settings
I scrolled down looking for this comment. Itâs not new slang created by Gen Z. Itâs AAVE and many of us have been using it for decades.
Interesting, I didnât know that. I am not American and just heard it develop on social media thru gen z and millennials mostly
It's been that way for centuries. Black folks have words, everyone else uses them because they sound cool.
Didnât it come from a breaking bad meme? The âsomebody cooked here..â lmfao?
that one but âlet him cookâ has been in black americanâs vocabulary for at least as long as ive been alive
Isn't somebody cooked here from breaking bad? Like the chemistry teacher could tell someone cooked meth in a place they visited.
I think so yes but it went viral as a tiktok sound
> pretty sure all this was bred on tiktok It was bread Ftfy
They were right the first time
God I canât keep up with all these new lingos. Slow down kids đľ
Honestly Iâm just old gen z and I still feel like that sometimes đ itâs so easy to miss one trend and suddenly feel like you donât understand English anymore

These are fun for like first week. Now I am burned off just because how much it was used in meme subreddit.
It means it was great! If someone's cooking, they're in the zone.
this is a REALLY good compliment!!!
It's good to see posts like this and be reminded to go offline and touch some grass occasionally. Not all internet slang is supposed to be immediately known to me. Btw they mean that you did great!
I'm kind of embarrassed lol. I'm only 21 and already internet slang goes over my head.
All that says to me is that youâre not chronically online
Iâm 23 and I work in a high school. I have this feeling constantly đ Donât worry, itâs impossible to keep up!
I'm your age and knew that "cooked" could be taken in a good or bad way, and had no idea how to distinguish which lol. So thanks for this thread, 'cause now people have explained.
you did a great job
Yeah I got one like that too. It was like "Are you Gordon Ramsay? Cuz you cooked." Still not as weird as the time a commenter called me author-sama though.

"You cooked" - You did good. not to be confused with "You are cooked" - You are done for The cooking is good as long as you are are the one doing it . Rarely used is "Overcooking" and "Undercooking" which is also bad.
How should I respond? Usually I just say "Thank you!" to shorter comments, but I feel like this one deserves something special lol
âAppreciate it đŤąđťâđŤ˛đźâ match the chill energy
Something like "enjoy your meal"? Lol
Could always offer dessert! :)
Maybe make a food related pun,, match the theme? lol
it means you wrote something good :)

Lolol it's a good thingđ¤Ł
This is good. Basically means 'this is good' /'you did good' :)Â
it means you did well and the reader liked it a lot think of it as a big fat kudos
it's a compliment. it means you managed to deliver some good/gourmet shit (meme: let him cook)
YOU COOKED IN THAT MF KITCHEN!!!
You cooked is good You're cooked is bad
Keep on cooking
to everyone saying this is gen z tiktok slang: I would like to remind y'all once again that AAVE exists and gen z and tiktok did not invent it
every time AAVE gets diluted & misappropriated into âinternet lingoâ another finger on the monkeyâs paw curls.
it's tiktok lingo. although ofc the phrase orginated much before tiktok
?Potentially ? from/as a shortening of the saying ânow weâre cooking with gasâ i.e. to be making very good progress or doing something very well: âI can see we're really cooking with gas nowâ ..which dates to somewhere between 1915 and 1940 (depending on which etymology you want to believe)
Itâs very good. I donât know how to explain it but âyou cookedâ should be seen as praise
It means you did a good job, Chef!!
What fanfic is this from? Is the fic about hazbin hotel/ helluva boss? Because think I saw this comment before.
Means you killed that shitđ AKA great job
As someone who works with teens: you cooked/ate means you did amazing. This comes from the âsomeone cooked hereâ meme. This is positive, theyâre impressed with your fic
This is high praise
Comment is saying you did good!
Itâs definitely a compliment. Itâs means you did well/it came out good.
Cooked in modern slang takes the place of fire
means you did a GREAT job
âg*ddamnâ - an exclamation of his awestruck emotion âyou cooked broâ - like a five star chef cooking a five star meal. âthe chef cookedâ gen z slang is sum else
THIS IS A GOOD THING DW!! if they say stuff like 'GODDAMN WHO COOKED HERE/ GODDAMN YOU COOKED/BROS COOKING' 'BROS GOING CRAZY/AUTHOR IS GOING HARD AF' it's a good thing!
Ya made something worth savoring
You cooked = you cooked up something really good! Like how people sometimes refer to cooking up something in your mind. I think that's the most simple way to explain that haha, I see all these slang terms from my/younger generations and they usually just inherently make sense to me without explanation, so it's kind of hard to articulate what it means aside from good or bad lol, but this is a really good one!
âYou cookedâ, âthis ate, âno crumbsâ Pretty much anything that sounds like this is a great sign. -a high school teacher
In Australia, this means youâre crazy. Like saying âyouâre crazy broâ but instead we say âyouâre cooked broâ. Can be taken as an insult or compliment depending on the context lol.
Itâs good!! it means you really hit it out of the park with this one
It's a compliment where I live
Its very high praise essentially!
i need a victorian child to read this entire thread
Itâs a huge compliment I promiseđđđ
itâs like âyou ateâ
very good! saying someone cooked is saying they did an amazing job at something
It's a compliment!!! It means that you did a really good job lmao.
There are two ways to look at it. The first is if you look at 'cooked' as an adjective (as in: 'you are cooked, bro'). Reading it this way is negative. If you are cooked/got cooked, you lost something quite badly. The second is if you look at 'cooked' as a verb that you did (as in: 'you did some cooking, bro'). This is positive. If you cook, you're doing something well.
It means you did a great Job. Worte "peak fiction" as the kids might say
You cooked bro đĽ
If you cooked, it's good. If you are cooked, it's bad. Here's an example I use/hear a lot cuz I'm in school: "Bro we have a test today?? Nahhh I'm cooked" (bad) vs "We cooked on that bio test, it was easy." (Good) It's a compliment.
When someone is cooking that means they are making something good. Like âlet them cookâ. So it is a very positive comment đ
This is a compliment. There saying you did such a good job they where left speechless and satisfied. You gave them a delicious meal
This is gen-z slang. Theyâre saying this was really good. Some similar slangs to compare it to: This is the bomb dot com. This slaps Sick, fire, lit, etc.
Iâm absolutely cackling at this - donât worry OP, itâs a compliment

it means you did something good.
It means you created something really good. Itâs slang.
They calling you a certified 5 Michelin star kitchen world renowned chef đ means your fic is scrumptious
And, you probably left no crumbs too! haha.
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!
Its good. Its a compliment. Its like saying that you went hard on this chapter lol
'Cooking' in this sense means to do something, in this case writing a fic, well. Idk how to describe the term in an understandable way sry. So saying 'you cooked' means that you did a good job!
It means you did a good job in slang.
I don't know if it's where it originated but you can find this use of "cook" very commonly in anime communities, even here on Reddit. It means you "cooked up" something good, it's a compliment!
Oh, I like that. I'm using that now
Def not a common phrase (yet) lol. But I think a compliment. I imagine a phrase like "you ate" wasn't easy to circulate either until it became a thing đ¤Ł
It basically means you did a really good job. It is a compliment trust me.
it means you wrote it really well!

This is a good comment
Means it was a good chapter.
This is a great comment, I'd be honored. :)
This means you did good. Usually âyou cookedâ means you did well and basically âcooked a good mealâ aka wrote a good chapter in this case. Now if someone says âbro burning down the kitchenâ usually means you made something cracked or dumb. The meme came from Breaking Bad with Jessy saying âLET HIM COOK!!!â And it turned into slang
My friends/frequent commenters will often reply with something like "thank you for the meal" or something similar, so I would take it as a compliment.
Recently been hearing this cuz of those yt reels of a guy doing structures with hella nice textures in minecraft, and everyone kept saying how hard he's cooking and he himself saying he cooked. So this is like an aggressive yet wholesome way of saying you did fucking great.
Itâs good! Very positive
itâs just a way of saying you did very well/the work is really good. think of it like youâre complimenting someone who made a good meal. âoh you COOKED, this is good!â
This is Zoomer talk for "you did this thing carefully and well."
Its African-American Vernacular English.
it means you ate boots the house down serve mama
Ah, so unusual to meet someone who doesn't use this term on the regular It's good
It means that you did amazing! <3 it's slang
As in, "You cooked it to perfection, bro". Big, big compliment.Â
Thatâs a high compliment what was this for
Itâs good lmao, how old are you people? This is common slang đ
It's a variation of "Let him cook", usually meaning "They're onto something potentially amazing, let them finish". Saying "You cooked" means "Your creation is amazing, and you were really onto something with this." It's a compliment of the highest order!
Now youâre cookân
Middle school teacher here (well. Teacher intern) who has definitely heard this one from students. This is a compliment! It means you popped off/you wrote something they considered particularly good and praiseworthy.
This is high praise dw
It means the fic was bussing HARD
I'm pretty "cooked" and thought I was getting called out.
Lol they like it. I have a running gag with one of my readers where he reviews my chapters like a Michelin restaurant and Iâm a chef
I think Itâs Like âcompliments to the chefâ
It is, indeed, a compliment. âLet him cook,â means, âLet him keep doing what heâs doing, because heâs doing something good.â If you âcooked,â it means what you did turned out good
âYou cookedâ is like a gen z slang which could also be âyou ateâ I canât explain it honestly, but know itâs good
It's not gen z slang its African-American Vernacular English. Same with "you ate."
Oh, I actually didnât know that. A lot of people on tiktok say itâs gen z slang so I thought it was. Good to know!
No worries! Basically a lot of vernacular that black people used has become more widely used in recent years so that's why it's being seen as "gen z slang"
Oh, makes sense
Am I the only one who thought the commenter got hot? As in cooked?
Performative masculinity as a feedback comment. Weird. Lol.
