Hot or Cold; Cooking or Cooked.

Today, an exhausted student (NM) told me in the middle of her test "Mr. Rideout - I'm cooked."

Now, last week, when she was tearing through a physics worksheet, she proudly proclaimed "I'm cooking!"

Makes me think about the oft contrasted generational uses of "hot" or "cool" which basically mean the same thing in slang, depending on your preferred decade.  

It's kinda fire to think about how hot it is to be cooking but how not cool it is when you're cooked, huh?Sick.
