The phrase comes from a 2010 press conference by Ugandan pastor Martin Ssempa, who used the line while describing homosexual acts during an anti-gay campaign speech. A recording spread widely online the same year, and the blunt, repetitive wording was clipped, remixed, and turned into a reaction meme detached from the original speech. Its afterlife has been mostly comedic, with editors reusing the audio for gross-out jokes, shock reactions, and absurd edits. Because the delivery is so distinctive, even people who never saw the full speech recognize the line instantly.
