The stupidest new phrase ever.
Doesn't make it not stupid though.
My vote for the most stupid new use of a phrase is “blew up” or “blow up”, as in anything that suddenly does well “blew up”’ like somehow it’s a positive thing.
It’s so ambiguous as to have no meaning at all.
I see it as part of the Left’s desire to remove facts, precision, and accuracy from our society, so that all that is left are “feelings” and intentions.
Origin...
...traced back to the 1980s black and Latino gay community, especially the drag scene in New York City. An early instance appears in the 1990 documentary about that drag scene, Paris is Burning.

Same goes for “opens up” and “claps back” or “rocks” when someone is wearing something.
