The term is a neologism. It was a joke 'Internet term' which was first used by "Friday Night Cranks" and has since been (rarely) used by fans of the show. It was supposed to be a common "figure of speech" used on Myspace (as told on the show) and was meant be mean, "Where do you live?" when stated. Similar to an euphemism.

The term "can I take a bite out of your taco?" was also created by Friday Night Cranks at the same time this one was.

A lot like big-city building department, but way more restrictive and difficult. Getting a permit through the building department is harder than going to Wal-Mart and not picking up any junk food. The time it takes to get plans through the building department is slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter.
I went to the Coeur d'Alene building department this morning, and then I decided to improve my day by plucking my eyeballs out.
