Little reliable information is available about where Roti Bohay first came from, and the clip circulates mainly as a standalone meme sound shared between short video edits. Its search interest shows up in the shorter form bo hay, suggesting many listeners hear the phrase differently from how it is titled. That ambiguity helped it spread as a reaction clip, because creators can drop it into almost any confusing moment without needing the original context. It remains used for its strangeness rather than a specific scene, character or well known creator.
