Am unfamiliar with this phrase but now I'm curious. Where/who uses it?

@CptSuperlative

It's very old AAVE that exploded online recently I don't know why.

Example:

*A person is putting together furniture in a strange way*
Bystander one: "Hey what are you doing?"
Bystander two: "no let her cook, she's making something interesting"

@futurebird I thought it meant "I'm not sure where this is going but I want to find out"

@funkula

We can learn something from this. It might be one of those lessons where you think "let's never do that again..." or maybe not. We won't find out if you stop her.

@funkula

I kind of like

"No. I am learning."

As an alternative.

@futurebird Not sure of the context of where mine comes from (might be TV/movies), but I’m thinking “let this person suffer a little before pulling them from the pot.”

As I doing a synonym of “roast”?

@helianthropy

no no no not being cooked, cooking as in she is the chef
