1. Ready-to-Quote Findings (Attributable to “SlangLane Editorial & Linguistics Lab”)

• On why Gen Z says “I’m cooked”: “In contemporary group-chat English, hyperbolic exhaustion terms like cooked and crash out act as social release valves. Saying ‘I’m cooked for Monday’s meeting’ signals shared workplace or academic pressure through self-aware irony rather than literal crisis.” — SlangLane Editorial & Linguistics Lab (2026 State of Internet English Report)
• On British & Irish slang going global: “Short-form video and multi-timezone Discord servers have turned regional British and Hiberno-English expressions — such as craic, grand, sound, knackered, and skint — into active vocabulary for North American speakers.” — SlangLane Editorial & Linguistics Lab (Transatlantic Dialect Matrix)
• On “Ok.” and intergenerational texting anxiety: “Older texters use periods and ellipses as grammatical separators learned on paper; younger texters read them as emotional temperature drops. Most workplace texting tension comes from reading grammatical punctuation as emotional subtext.” — SlangLane Editorial & Linguistics Lab (Intergenerational Texting Guide)
