What's cookin' ? Same old shit on the plate.
"everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
what's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cookin'" - Coolio(Gangsta Paradise)aka what's cookin' version
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!
A phrase in gaming used to depict confusion on what a specific player was trying to do due to said player's action not making much sense. Another way of saying: "What was his plan there?"
(Originates from the thumbnail of the Thanos YouTube Video from New Rockstars that turned into a meme.)
*player does something unbelievably stupid with complete intention and loses because of it*
