The line comes from the 2013 German school comedy Fack ju Göhte, where teacher Zeki Müller snaps at his student Chantal during one of her emotional outbursts. Played by Jella Haase, Chantal became one of the film's most quoted characters, and this short scolding turned into a shorthand reaction in German social media. Clipped for soundboards and short videos, it is now used far beyond the film whenever someone is told, jokingly, to keep their crying, complaining or drama down.
