REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He's written four paragraphs defending a tweet from three days ago — bro needs to touch grass."
LORE & ORIGIN
Emerged from gaming and forum communities around 2020 as the go-to retort for anyone whose passion for an online argument seemed wildly disproportionate to its real-world stakes, becoming a universal comeback by 2022.
