    I thought this was new slang by the presentation, but is this the same shit we had when i grew up?

    “Now we’re cooking!” - good - things are going well

    “Oh shit, youre cooked.” - bad - youre done for

      Modern slang often seems to be recycled slang with a new cadence that makes it feel more Gen Z. There is some truly unique stuff too, but it’s kind of funny how just changing how you use a word in a sentence or with a specific inflection can make it feel fresher.
