Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness was released by Blizzard Entertainment in 1995, and its Orc peon units answered player commands with short grunts including Dabu. Soundboards often list the line as Daboo, matching how the stretched vowel sounds when played. Clips of classic real time strategy voice lines later spread through forums, streams and meme edits, where older unit acknowledgements became shorthand for agreeing to a job. The brevity and familiarity of this line keep it in use long after the original game.
