I think its whole thing is that it doesn't really mean anything; it's literally just an empty trigger word

No soap radio.

I asked my nine year old daughter, and she said it doesn't mean anything, it's just brain rot to confuse the adults.

It originates from a discussion about a guy's height, he was 6 foot 7 inches. However, that's not really important to how it's used, it's just a mindless phrase to say.

It originates from "Doot Doot" by Skrilla [Dec '24], got associated with LaMelo Ball (basketball player), hijacked and force-memed by Taylen Kinney (basketball player, hand gesture starts here) [Jan '25], kids chasing highlight reel clout start doing this at games and Maverick Trevillian (the blonde kid in the memes) gets lucky [March '25]. Full-steam-ahead brainrot evolution from there, memes referencing memes with none of the original layers of context.

he was 6 foot 7 inches

So that is why it's not a thing in Europe.
