Well that's not quite true. It's a slang phrase popularly used by Gen Alpha (including my grandchildren.) While some interpret the phrase to mean "so-so" or "maybe this, maybe that," it is also used as an exclamation.

"It’s part inside joke, part social signal and part performance," Steve Johnson, director of lexicography for the Dictionary Media Group at IXL Learning said in a news release.
