Origin
On January 28th, 2010, episode four "Killing Utne" of season one of American TV series Archer premiered.[1] In one scene of the episode, titular character Sterling Archer comments "phrasing?" after hearing an unintentional double entendre said by character Malory Archer.
- And you said no dates!
- I said no such thing!
- Well, your mouth did!
- Well, your mouth better get over there and make Torvald happy!
- Umm, phrasing?
Spread
The catchphrase was turned into a running gag and had since appeared in numerous episodes of the show, said by Sterling Archer and other characters.[2]
Online, the phrase has been used as a reaction, sometimes in a form of an image macro featuring Sterling Archer (examples shown below).[3][4]
