What is Cook? Cook Meaning Explained
To absolutely slay, destroy, or win — usually in a debate, diss, or creative moment
Cook is a Gen Z way to say someone went off (in the best way). Whether they’re dragging someone in an argument or just killing it in their lane, we say “let them cook.” And if they actually do cook? Oh, it’s over for y’all.
“Cook” comes from meme language — short for “let them cook,” meaning someone’s on a roll and should keep going. It blew up on Twitter and TikTok in the early 2020s, especially in roast battles, reactions, and edits. Now it’s used anytime someone goes *off* in the best way possible.
