But where is it originally from?

Back in August 2020, Miranda made an appearance on episode 41 of the Good For You Podcast with Whitney Cummings, and the conversation at one point turns towards the star claiming she’s more “edgy” than people think she is.

She then says, “I actually do cuss a little,” and after Whitney asks what her favorite curse word is, she replies, “probably f**k.”

Even former Drake and Josh co-star Josh Peck joined in on the trend, posting his own lip-sync of the viral sound with the caption “shoutout lil sis” that now has over 12 million views.
