Former wrestler and now actor The Rock coined the phrase "you smell what I am cooking"? when he would try to intimidate his opponent it was his "hook" after talking trash. It can be defined as the following:

1) Do you know my intentions?
2) Do you realize the impact of my actions?
3) Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth
4) Do you smell what I ate recently, as I just farted?
Joe Blow: Hey Joey if you fart again in the car again I'm going to beat you down!

Joey BagOfDoughnuts: Ah I see you smell what I'm cookin'?

Joe Blow: No, but you're going to smell what I'm cooking when i leave you for dead at the next traffic light!
