The phrase comes from Sweet Brown, whose real name is Kimberly Wilkins, interviewed by Oklahoma City station KFOR in April 2012 after escaping an apartment fire. Her energetic retelling spread rapidly on YouTube and was remixed, quoted and parodied across television and social media. The shortened line was detached from the interview and reused as a standalone reaction, especially in meme edits and soundboards. It remains popular because the wording is instantly recognisable and can dismiss almost any unwanted task, chore or suggestion in under two seconds.
