The land of the free and the home of slang that takes over the world. From coast to coast, American English churns out new words faster than Hollywood makes sequels. Valley girls, hip-hop heads, Southern drawlers and Brooklyn hustlers all throw into the same melting pot of language.

"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."

"Bro really thought he cooked with that comment. Cooked. So that means, like, you did something impressive or smart or just, like, really well done, essentially. Um, I'm American from the United States."

"Silent repost is basically just a statement you say because when you want to repost something... let's get into reposting. Basically when there's something on TikTok or Instagram that you really relate with, it could be a post or just basically a post like a video or a photo or like a caption or whatever, you have the option to repost it, which basically means you agree with it. So silent repost is basically when something that you secretly relate to and you don't really want people to know about it publicly, but you just really relate to it. So people usually comment like, oh, silent repost, this. Because it won't show up on your page, on your account, so people won't really know that you relate to this, you know, the post or whatever, unless the post also shows up on their feed and then they see your comment. It's not that common. Or you don't really have to comment, you can just say, oh, like silent repost. I can say it to your closest friend or someone else like, oh okay, silent repost. An example would be, oh my god, have you seen this breakup edit? It's so relatable, silent repost."

"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."

"Ick. Spelt I-C-K. This is something that someone can do that can turn you off. This is basically more in like the romantic setting. So, an example could be, oh my God, so we were swimming and then I dove down under the pool to just, you know, take a dive. And I saw him trying to stay afloat. His legs were wobbling all weird. Such an ick."

"Running a fade. Meaning to physically fight someone. Alright, alright, we got a problem here or what? Oh yeah, we got a problem here, alright. Oh, so we have a problem here. Alright, we can run a fade right here, right now, if you want. Okay, tough guy, let's go."
