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.
