Cracked as in good or bad


Yeah, that's the funny thing about this article title.

Apparently the author (and most commenters here!) do not realize "cracked" is VERY popular gen z slang for being very good at something.

Cracked as in they cooked[1] hard.

no, that's using it wrong.

- "they cooked [hard]" is positive

- "they're [hard] cooked" is negative.

- "let them cook" means let them work, they'll do something positive.

- "someone cooked here" [0] has become a TikTok meme for positive things

Bad, like really bad. Example: “Liquid design is really bad ass”


That sounds good


He's being sarcastic, "bad" and "bad ass" are clearly opposites.


Goodn't
