The line comes from Shoresy, the unseen hockey chirper in the Canadian comedy series Letterkenny, where he taunts opponents from the bench without ever being fully shown on screen. His rapid insults, including telling rivals to give their balls a tug, became some of the show's most quoted moments and were clipped and shared widely by fans online. The phrase stuck because it is short, rude in a playful way and instantly recognisable to Letterkenny viewers, so creators still use it as shorthand for hockey trash talk and friendly roasting.
