Definition

Chopped is the cut. In recent young English it describes the face, the outfit, the moment. Cooked is a cousin of general ruin; chopped aims at the look. It can be a group joke or comment cruelty. Looksmaxxing is the industry that promises an exit from chopped. The lexicon does not referee bodies; it records the word.
