Weclome to English @ the movies where we teach you American English heard at the movies. Today's phrase is "cook up" from movie "Jurassic World". Let's take a look.
---You just went and made a new dinosaur. Probably not a good idea.
---That wall was 40 feet high. Do you really think that she climed out?
---Depends...
---On what?
---What kind of dianosure they cooked up in that lab.
So what does that mean"cooked up?"
A). something you overcooked
B). something you planed to do
Let's listen again and see if you are correct.
...
"Cooked up" means something you plan to do or something you made. If you are cooking up something, it usually not something good. It could be ilegal or at least dishonest. In this movie, they created a new dinosaur in the lab, a very dangerous one. And that is English @ the movies.
