What Does This Mean?
"Going out to get milk" — a euphemism for disappearing without warning and never coming back, whether abandoning a relationship, a conversation, or an obligation, treated as a running joke about someone who vanished under a flimsy pretext.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Il a dit qu'il revenait dans 5 minutes, il est parti chercher du lait depuis."
LORE & ORIGIN
French internet phrase adapting an English-language joke format (the classic "dad went out for milk and never came back" abandonment gag) into natural French phrasing, becoming its own established French-internet expression for a sudden, unexplained disappearance rather than staying a direct translation of the English joke.
