I don't really think that this bit of internet slang is really particularly notable. WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. JDDJS (talk to me • see what I've done) 21:39, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (I wrote this article) Referencing WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary, specifically the section WP:WORDISSUBJECT, this article does go beyond a dictionary definition. The first paragraph is a definition and etymology, yes. But the second and third paragraphs directly discuss the social significance of the phrase, citing four academic sources. These paragraphs are enough to satisfy the guideline, and the sources themselves are enough for WP:GNG. I agree that the phrase itself, a priori, doesn't seem like it would be notable, but for our purposes, and as demonstrated by the article as written, it is.
