'That happened' is a sarcastic term used online in response to tales and stories that are suspicious, unbelievable and more than likely fake. The term is said to originate from the television show Friends, where one of the main characters Phoebe responds "Yeah, I'm sure that happened" when Rachel claims she kissed a girl.

Ultimately, the subreddit /r/thatHappened was created in 2012 and is known as a "place for posting people telling outrageous tall tales that would make Walter Mitty proud," as per the subreddit's description.
