    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.
