"Cooked"

For a while it was "let him cook" which, I think, meant 'give them a chance, they seem to be on to something', but now when something goes bad people say it's "cooked". My question is, was it a mistake to let them cook? Thank you.

Maaan, I love the internet.

This was uploaded 11 years ago, and it probably older than that. But today was my first time watching it, and I'm choking on dinner laughing at this sketch. (Today's lucky 1 in 10000*)

Does that 1 in 10000 apply internationally? Or just in the US. Even though I'm not in the US, I like that statistic of the 1 in 10,000

If I say "that's cold blooded" does that confuse you about the meaning of things that are "cool"?

"Cooked" refers to things that have overheated and thus, broken. "cooking" refers to trying tings out and innovating.

“let him cook” which, I think, meant ‘give them a chance

I think "let him cook" generally means "let them do whatever they're planning and make their own mistakes".

"it's cooked" means someone has made some mistakes and now it's just a mess, with no undo.

I think “cooked” in the meaning you refer to has actually existed for decades longer than people saying “let him cook”

Let him cook

that means he is completely wrong and what they are doing will fail, but I am not getting Involved in that mess.

Typically it is said after one tried to correct the issue.
