Explaining the modern use of cooking sure, I can see that but y’all acting like “your goose is cooked” isn’t an old ass idiom.
I've heard the phase "now you're cooking with gas" for as long as I can remember, which has approximately the same meaning as "cooking."
Idk I feel like they have a bit of a different meaning.
“Now you’re cooking with gas” feels like you just hit the Nos button and are supercharged
But when I hear “let him cook” or “she’s cooking” It’s more in the context of a slow simmer/wait for the good thing.
Probably just personal semantics or my exposure to how it’s being used by the general public.
What about whatever it was that the Rock was cooking? We didn't have smell-o-vision back then so I never found out what it was.
