The phrase has become a general-purpose online reaction for bafflement, passed around on soundboards detached from its original context. Short spoken denials like this spread because they fit almost any confusing moment without needing setup, and creators reuse them as a quick verbal shrug. Its popularity comes from the timing and tone rather than a specific scene, letting it work in gaming clips, chat reactions and meme edits where someone needs to admit they have no idea what they are looking at.
