where did we get the term "cooker" from? I know what it means, curious of the origin.

There are also LSD cookers, predating ecstasy by decades. Edit: doesn't discount your theory though.

I think the term is evolving and it's more moved from the drugs to more that there is a certain pattern of mental thought associated with it. A fried or cooked brain causing strange patterns and behaviours.

I used to work with a very intelligent lady, drug and alcohol free, who had a bad time through menopause and I would now described as "cooked". All the conspiracy theories regurgitated within 3 years from zero prior.

Since there are studies of Facebook causing changes in the brain, can you be "cooked" from Facebook usage?
