It seems to be a phrase that Gen Z uses when they don’t know what else to say, especially when they’re thinking of something else but want to let you know they heard you.
Jake: I don’t like Abbie anymore.
Ralph: Why?
Jake: *some long explaination*....and, well, I suppose that’s why, y’know?
Ralph:...E.

E - means “everything” or more specifically, “Assume I’ve just told you everything you could possibly learn about me by other means and there is nothing more I might want to say.” The shortest possible conversation starter and ender. Saves considerable time and it deserves to be widely adopted.
Entomology: Before there was texting there was telegraphy. To save time, Morse code operators created abbreviations. For example: CQ means “Does anyone want to talk to me,” DE means “From,” OP means “operator,” QTH means “my location is,” and K means “over” (your turn to transmit).
In Morse a “dot” is three times as long as a “dash.” The shortest letter is “E” which is a single dot. The number 0 is “_ _ _ _ _”, 9 is “_ _ _ _ .” and 1 is “. _ _ _ _” so if a number was expected in context, then “cut letters” were substituted. For example Zero became “T” (a single dash), 9 became N (_ .) and 1 became. The area code 901 could be sent as NTA.

Before the internet, a Morse code conversation between two amateur radio operators might go like this:
CQ DE WB6ACU K (WB6ACU wants to see if anyone wants to talk to him)
WB6ACU DE N6YOS K (N6YOS says she would like to. This is followed by a preliminary exchange of names and locations before much else is said.)
N6YOS DE WB6ACU OP IS JOE QTH IS STUDIO CITY CA K
WB6ACU DE N6YOS OP IS PRISCILLA QTH IS NASHVILLE TN K
But now with the internet, you can google any call sign and learn everything there is to know about anyone, so a more efficient way communicating goes like this:
CQ DE WB6ACU K
AB6ACU DE N6YOS K
N6YOS DE WB6ACU E K
WB6ACU DE N6YOS E K
… at this point both operators are free to see if anyone else wants to talk to them...
