The result was speedy delete. Having checked the history of the article and also searched online for information about the expression, I am convinced that this is either a hoax or WP:MADEUP, and in either case it should be speedily deleted. At a couple of months short of 12 years, this is probably by far the longest surviving hoax article I have seen. A sobering reminder that Wikipedia is a highly unreliable source.

This article has been uncited since 2008, and I cannot find any results for this term outside of Wikipedia itself and circular sources citing Wikipedia, or just the sentence "[…] just a bunch of bytes". An IP on the article's talk page suggested it might even be a hoax. Either way, if this is not a hoax, I reckon it is likely not notable enough for its own article anyway, unless notability can be established. Anonymous 7481 (talk) 17:13, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete Tagging WP:G3. Seems to be WP:MADEUP as there's no sources using the word prior to the creation of the page. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 19:33, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
