The 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.

🌀 Multiple origins🌀 Multiple2015

originThe expression likely grew from the mid-2010s Korean ‘spoon class’ word family, especially 금수저, which was widely remixed into playful forms like talent-spoon or beauty-spoon. 웃수저 applies that structure to natural comedic ability and spread through online communities, variety-show talk, and social media captions; the exact first usage is uncertain.
