PugJesusShe's cooking rule
BroBot9000Explaining 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.
reattachI’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.”

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.
To be fair, I’m much close to the age of the manager in the story than the young person, so I probably don’t have the best grasp on the modern meaning of “cooking.” I’ve probably just associated it with the phase I already knew.

“Let Russ Cook” was a catchphrase in the NFL a few years ago, talking about Russell Wilson. There’s even a Know Your Meme entry on it which says:
essentially meaning let Russell Wilson be himself and do his thing,
This apparently originated from a 2019 tweet but can be traced back to:
a YouTube fan video set to a Lil B song uploaded on July 14th, 2010. The video is titled, “LIL B BASED COOKING (LET THAT BOY COOK),” and features YouTuber Jordan Collier doing a stirring motion with his hand as he dances to Lil B’s track “Suck My Dick Hoe.”
