Fus Ro Dah are the first three words of Unrelenting Force, the dragon shout learned by the Dragonborn in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, released by Bethesda in 2011. In the game the shout creates a wave of force that staggers or throws enemies, and players quickly took the audio outside the game. It spread through YouTube edits, remixes and soundboards in the early 2010s as a universal push effect, and remains a shorthand for blasting something away with exaggerated power.
