expr. A
popular expression typically used by self-absorbed individuals to simultaneously address and dismiss something that a person is saying or doing.
Definitive origins of the phrase remain elusive to social scientists and linguists, but it'
s oldest usage can be traced back to as recently as 2008 in North America. It'
s predecessor, "love that", is widely attributed to
race-car-driving-sexy-man Arie Luyendyk Jr., who repeatedly used the phrase on Season 8 of
ABC's hit TV show The Bachelorette. Luyendyk'
s showcasing convinced audiences of the phrase'
s potential to allow it'
s user to both express interest in a person while also not listening to anything they'
re saying. The phrase quickly gained popularity with women in Simi Valley, who perceived the Scandinavian as a Kansas
hunk. From here it is unclear as to how the expression evolved, but "love that for you" quickly became popularized by the renowned human-retweet and pedophile James Charles.
Implications of the expression quickly caught on. It is now predominantly used within the LGBTQ+ community as conversation
filler.
