The phrase "I'm cooked" has become a wildly popular slang expression heavily embraced by Generation Z and internet culture to signify that someone is in an inescapable state of trouble, completely exhausted, or doomed to fail a test, interview, or situation. Borrowed from gaming and urban vernacular where being cooked implies getting completely destroyed or defeated, it is used humorously or dramatically across social media platforms to describe moments of impending disaster or overwhelming stress.
