A deliberately absurd catchphrase used to dismiss an irrelevant detail in an argument, deployed with a straight face regardless of context.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"He tried to bring up the budget and she just said 'oil doesn't matter' and walked off."

LORE & ORIGIN

Spread as a standalone meme phrase divorced from any single traceable source, used the way earlier nonsense-authority catchphrases spread purely on comic delivery.
