Meanwhile, the phrase became a popular joke comment on certain "extreme" posts on /r/BlackPeopleTwitter, similar to delet this. This led to two inquiry threads, one posted on /r/OutOfTheLoop[4] and another on /r/OutOfTheHoop.[5] The phrase also began appearing regularly on Twitter in the coming months.[6]
