Used humorously to describe a situation that started normal, fun, or chill (like a BBQ with friends), but suddenly went totally out of control, chaotic, or unexpectedly sexual. It plays on the rhyme between cookout (grill party) and cock-out (slang for male genitals being exposed).
"We thought it would just be burgers and beer, but after midnight… it turned from a cookout into a cock-out."

"The meeting was fine at first, but when everyone started shouting, it turned from a cookout into a cock-out."
