I have heard "boo me." It means do something to startle me or wake me up. Translate it as love "snuck" up on me, but I think it is passe kids lingo, so wouldn't use it. "Cooked" goes way back. We used to say "mooning like a lovesick calf," why I don't know- a calf may moo-n when it is hungry but lovesick?
