"Cooked means you're in big trouble or things just aren't going your way at all. For example, you might see your friend getting caught while cheating on a test in school and you'd say, he's cooked."

"Cooked? You may think that is a positive thing because you know cook means like you're cooking up something but actually no, cooked literally means like you're done, you're exhausted, you're in trouble, you're doomed. That's basically what cooked means. An example would be oh my god guys my mom just caught me vaping. I am so cooked."

"I can't, or I can't even, usually just said, you know, the phrase by itself. It basically means, I don't know, when there's something really funny, or shocking, or just overwhelming, you just say, I can't, or I can't even. An example would be, oh my god, there's no way the entire class, a whole hundred people, failed this exam. I can't even."

"Caught lacking is basically when you get caught doing something that you didn't really expect. I mean, that you didn't really expect to be caught doing, or that you were unprepared for something. Maybe you were just caught lacking. An example would be, Bro, did you just pick your nose? You were caught lacking."
I can't even

Caught lacking
"He walked in late with no homework and the teacher caught him lacking in front of everyone."
Boke
