originThe wording grew out of sports talk, especially football-style commentary where “form” refers to a player’s condition or performance level. Its exact first use is unclear, but short-form clips, sports memes, idol edits, and everyday praise posts helped turn it into a broad internet catchphrase in the early 2020s.
