The phrase combines French slang ta gueule with the everyday polite forms s'il te plaît and merci, often shortened online to stp. Clips built around this kind of blunt dismissal circulate widely in French speaking chats, comment threads and short video edits, where a two second voice line works faster than typing a reply. Its popularity comes from timing rather than a known recording, and it is reused whenever someone wants a dismissive answer that still sounds oddly courteous and therefore much funnier than a plain insult alone.
