A phrase middle schoolers love to use popularized by a Tiktoker who created a meme by dubbing the audio over a clip of Squidward saying, “Erm, what the sigma?”
Similar to “What the heck?” but with some cringe sprinkled in.

Middle schooler 1: Hey look, that teacher just picked their nose and flung it on the dry erase board.

Get the What the sigma?mug. Outsiders who don’t play the social game and manage to win at it anyhow. Alphas hate Sigmas since they're the only men who don’t accept or at least acknowledge their social dominance. (e.g. Alphas absolutely hate to be laughed at, and Sigma’s can enrage Alpha’s by simply smiling at him.) Everyone else is vaguely confused by them. At parties, he’s the guy who stops by to say hello to a few friends accompanied by a tier-one girl no one has ever seen before. Sigmas often like women, but also tend to be contemptuous of them.
Alphas seemingly rule the roost yet live in a world of constant conflict and hierarchical testing. Sigmas usually acquired their outsider status the hard way; one doesn’t become immune to the social hierarchy by virtue of mass popularity in one’s childhood.
In the event of all-out conflict between a Sigma and an Alpha, the Sigma will vanish. This may count as victory from the Alpha perspective, since he retains his control over the hierarchy. But, the victory can be hollow if the Sigma’s a valuable team member.
The wise Alpha will find a way to let the Sigma do his thing separately, but within the larger context of the team. Think skunk works, or IBM setting up its Boca Raton group to develop the PC without the interference of the larger organization.
Examples include: the Duke of Wellington, Orson Welles, (the artist formerly known as) Prince
Originally coined by Vox Day (going as far back on his blog as 2010) as part of the Socio-Sexual-Hierarchy (SSH)

"I told Steven we should be friends, and he told me 'no' flat out. What's wrong with him?"
"You're an attention whore, and a Sigma like him has better things to do with his time."
"Like what!?"
"Getting shit done."
