Erm, what the sigma?

“Erm, what the sigma” is a humorous and sarcastic expression used to convey shock, confusion, or disbelief. The phrase merges "erm"—a filler word indicating hesitation or puzzlement—with "what the sigma," a playful reference to the concept of a "sigma male," which is often associated with a lone, self-reliant persona in popular culture. The term is meant to be taken in a tongue-in-cheek manner, adopting a tone similar to that of Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants, known for his deadpan and exasperated reactions. This expression is used to mockingly elevate the level of bewilderment in a situation, adding a layer of ironic seriousness.
