In a response back to a supplier, I told them they were "cooking us" with this new shipping rate. No regrets.
Discussion
Cooking means to means to let someone do their thing.
If a dude is in the middle of a speech breakthrough, and someone wants to interrupt but what the OP is saying is super revolutionary people shut up the interruptor by saying "let him cook" referring to the original person.
“ cooking us “ was used in the 1990s so which zoomer slang do you mean?
Today the people that say this seriously in this context are mostly zoomers
