The phrase comes from a viral television interview with Eddy Malou, a Congolese man who became famous online for speaking in elaborate, invented French terms with complete confidence. Clips of the interview circulated widely on YouTube and French-speaking social media, where viewers shared his most striking expressions as memes. 'La congolexicomatisation' stood out because it sounds like a real technical concept while meaning nothing, making it easy to reuse whenever language becomes absurdly complicated. It remains popular in French meme culture as a shorthand for empty, overblown jargon.
