An idiomatic expression derived from the french "ça passe", literally translating to "it passes", used to imply both a lack of rigor and an attempt to save face. First coined by l3mdawi in 1999 in an attempt to prove (ambiguously) a few topological properties of convexity. It has been largely used afterwards as a way to dismiss any further interrogations, and in some cases as a means of gaslighting people into believing the triviality of non-trivial aspects of maths.
The expression gained a lot of popularity in 2022 due to the rise of the "fuck it, we ball" mouvement (ball in both the senses of the football world cup and the balls it takes to bully l3mdawi right back), as the second coming of the stars (SCotS™) has been using it profusely in an attempt to lighten up the gnawing, harrowing darkness plaguing the atmosphere, and to put an end to the misuse of the phrase in pseudo-dectatorial contexts. In other words, they gave him what he asked for when he said "on attaque".
The phrase can also be interpreted in certain contexts as a satirical, snarky comment on the political and economical state of the world, and how fleeing the country is always a good idea.

Get the Ça passe 🤡mug. by EddieBrock5 September 3, 2023
Get the Relay passmug. This is a perfect phrase (and party trick!) to highlight the difference between British and American English accents. Each word in the sentence is pronounced differently when uttered aloud in the two different accents.
Two friends, one American & one British, met at a party. One asks the other to say “Please pass the pasta pastor” out loud.
American person: “Please {ˈpas} the {pä-stə} {ˈpa-stər}”
British person: “Please {pɑ s} the {ˈpæstə} {ˈpɑ stə(r)}”
American person: “Please {ˈpas} the {pä-stə} {ˈpa-stər}”
British person: “Please {pɑ s} the {ˈpæstə} {ˈpɑ stə(r)}”

Get the Cali Passmug. In context, the historically correct version of the phrase "...with flying colors". As the latter phrase originates from the time when fleets returned victorious from battles and raised their flags, also know as "the colors".
