The line comes from the 2009 South Park episode Margaritaville, where Stan takes his money to a bank and a banker quickly invests it, loses it, and dismisses the loss with the phrase. The scene parodied risky banking during the financial crisis, and the clip later spread online as a reaction for any sudden loss. Its short length and flat delivery made it easy to reuse in gaming, finance and fail edits, so it remains a standard shorthand for something vanishing without warning or explanation.
