I feel like I'm getting old, because I am beginning to not understand this level of brain rot, so I'm so incredibly glad that there is someone who can just make it make sense lmao
I think it's plausible that "what in the hell" came from "what in the world." This would explain the use of "the," since people usually use the definite article when talking about the world
A lot of languages don't actually use definite articles to connect words in expressions like these! For example, in Danish, "what the fxxk" is "hvad fxxk", literally "what fxxk". (fxxk is a borrowed word, so not the best example, I'm just using it so it's easy to understand). English is a very unique language in many ways.
The swedish version of the word works precisely like that, and it's always been interesting to me is how swedish has "fan" (pronounced with two A's, fa-an) and it just wholesale replaces "fuq" in basically every way it's used. And as far as i'm aware there's no etymological relationship between them!
@@swedneckwait you guys really just have "fan"? Here in Norway we have "faen" where you can choose between just pronouncing it "faen" or "fa-an" (even though the "fa-an" version may just be simplified or borrowed from you in Sweden)
In Slovakia we got the "čo do piči" or "no do piči" Which is "what in the [slang for vagina]" 🦗 🦗 I remember an English fella who came to our pub being so happy yelling "into the vag, into the vag!" when I told him that lol
In German we use the local preposition "zu" + article in the dative case (dem (m/n), der (f)) and shorten it zu zum/ zur. So in German we say "Was zum Fic*" or "Was zur Hölle"
One thing id like to mention regarding articles, is that The Finnish language literally does not Have articles, we just don't have them. "What The fuck" in Finnish is "mitä vittua", which would just Be "what fuck", obviously
It seems like a case in which it’s modeled after “what the f*ck”. “What the ___” is simply a structure we can use and “what the sigma” has just become a common usage of this structure.
@@SineN0mine3 yeah it’s obvious, except everyone with half a brain cell to know this. I also expect everyone with a single brain cell to know that I’m aware of that. So that places you somewhere between .5 and 1 brain cell…
As a German this explanation makes sense to me. The corresponding phrase in German would be "Was zum" + "F*ck/Teufel/Dürüm/... " meaning "What to the.." or "What by the..." The preposition doesn't have a real meaning but just implies that it belongs to the question word and minimizes ambiguity.
i love seeing how language changes and evolves and the easiest way to see that is through internet slang and memes because of how quickly things change. i hate when people shit on it because there's nothing wrong with slang and meme words and its fun to look at it under a more serious lens rather than denouncing it immediately like "haha funny the dictionary added rizz"
You definitely made "What the sigma" and "What the skibidi" up and will do a video about how you made people start saying your phrase by presenting it as if others already do
Ohhhhh that’s what my friend meant. Sometimes I need someone with a masters in linguistics to explain internet language to me before I understand things.

I think "In the" is just being shortened to "The" like this: "What in the hell?"--> "What the hell?"--> "What the fuck?"--> "What the sigma?"
this is what i was thinking!!!
What in the actual Sigma are you talking about?
What in the actual fucking Sigma?
perhaps it goes even further back from "what in the name of hell", and just progressively gets shortened
