Astonished by the result of something
Extended defintion: I’m shook is a phrase that means I’m surprised, excited, taken aback, amazed or shocked at the result of something. Depending on the situation in which it is used it can mean a lot of different things but generally is used in a reaction to something monumental or even can be used sarcastically about something insignificant.
-"I can't believe the Warriors won game 7 in Sacramento." "I know right, I'm shook."
Origin: I could not source when this phrase was initially used but it has also meant different things over time, in the 1990’s it seemed to be used to signify how scared someone was.
