A casual check-in directed at someone you address as cuz — a term of familiar address used widely in Black American slang and spread through hip-hop culture. Dropping a cuz check is the conversational equivalent of a well-being ping: you are establishing contact, seeing what is good, and affirming the relationship with the address itself. The cuz check can be a text, a DM, or a shoutout — what matters is the warmth baked into the acknowledgment. It signals genuine closeness rather than transactional communication.
A call-out or self-assessment determining whether someone is playing intentionally badly in a game — deliberately dying, feeding kills, or throwing objectives on purpose. Dropping an int check on a teammate is equal parts accusation and interrogation: are you actually this bad or is something deliberate happening here? The check invites either a confession, a defensive explanation, or a meltdown in chat. A staple of competitive gaming communication, it has migrated into everyday discourse to question whether someone's terrible decision-making is wilful or just genuinely catastrophic.
A cooking check is a request for validation or confirmation that someone is genuinely in a state of peak performance — that they're really, actually cooking right now and not just talking about it. Borrowed from the 'check' suffix used in social media to call out or confirm a trait (e.g., 'vibe check'), a cooking check demands proof of the heat. Drop the cooking check when someone claims they're onto something big and you need to see the receipts before you believe it. Can be used earnestly or as light-hearted skepticism.
Developer speak for the moment you stop everything to diagnose whether a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy is blocking your API calls. A cors check is the digital equivalent of checking whether the bouncer at the door is going to let your request through. Frontend devs learn early that CORS errors are cryptic, loud, and always seem to hit right before a deadline. Doing a cors check means inspecting headers, reading error logs, and praying that the fix is something simple like adding a missing 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header rather than something deeply architectural.
Hold on, I need to do a cors check — the fetch is failing and I'm pretty sure the backend isn't allowing cross-origin requests.
