LORE & ORIGIN

A transliteration parody: Chinese netizens wrote the sound of a Japanese phrase known from anime and video-sharing culture with deliberately ornate characters. Jyut Dictionary (quoting Wiktionary) lists it as a humorous internet interjection meaning stop or please don't, a synonym of 亚美爹, and a 2015-06-24 GamerSky article names it among Japanese-derived netspeak terms that were frequent in Bilibili danmaku. No first date is documented.
