The phrase is Russian colloquial speech, with sho as a slang form of what, and tuya meaning thuja, the coniferous evergreen also known as arborvitae. No clear original source is documented for this short recording, so it circulates mainly as a standalone voice meme rather than a known film or show quote. It spread through soundboards and short video edits where an unrelated spoken question is funny on its own, and it remains used for confused reactions, plant jokes and deliberately random interruptions in conversations and remixes online today.
