I heard it from 20 somethings. I k now for sure they do not connect it to Eminem. They explained it to me differently.

I don't remember how they explained it to me.

That is where the term originated. It’s not an accident it’s the name of the character in the song. -- nm - spamlet Jun 11, 15:59 13
- I will ask my 20something friends where they think it originated. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:00 11
  - consider the possibility that your 20-something friends are....wrong? - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 16:04 8
    - They are "influencers." Tens of thousands of followers. They know. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:07 7
      - riiiiiight....*backs away slowly* -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 11, 16:11
      - or, they invented their own meaning after hearing it from somewhere else. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 16:10 5
        
        These are people I have known well for several years. Edit to say. I know them very well. I have committed significant mischief with them. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 11, 16:13 4
        
        Cool. They're still mistaken. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 16:16 3
        
        Since they haven't answered me yet, you don't know. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:25 2
        
        If, as you initially suggested above, they think it's from somewhere other than the Eminem song, they're incorrect. -- nm - Reagen Jun 11, 16:26 1
        
        Of course they are. I'm curious what the younger generation THINKS it is. -- nm - loosilu Jun 11, 16:28
  - I mean they can think whatever they want but that’s where it’s from. -- (link) - spamlet Jun 11, 16:04 1
