Ah but then there is the phrase “let him cook,” which tends to be used when someone starts doing something that seems foolish. I would think it at least somewhat relates to “cooking.” If you fail, you are “cooked.”
Edit: To clarify, this phrase is commonly seen after someone says something like “hey, don’t do that;” I did not mean to imply the phrase itself has an inherent good/bad connotation, merely what has been pointed out that they want to “wait and see” the results before making judgement.
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.
Rizz = Charisma
Based = Cool; Awesome; Good.
Cooked = Fucked (as in up, not sexually).
Cooking = Doing something (usually good, but does not necessarily have to be).

‘cooking’ specifically implies either creativity or efficacy (or both, some novel solution that results in success)

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.

I’d say “let him cook” is foolishness-agnostic. It could be good or bad, but it’s definitely unexpected
“Let him cook” is more like “I wanna see where this is going”
that is the creative part of the equation
Based also sorta meant woke for a bit before woke
And then it swung the other way and meant being racist pos for a wide minute, too
Based is like ‘unpopular, but I agree.’
I thought it was recognizing that the person acted/spoke their conscience, more or less
Temba, at rest.
Shaka, when the walls rizzed.
