hahah yes, this is a word that originates in Southern Black gay slang and is used to emphasize a point and/or emphatically end a conversation. Like many other words originating in queer and/or Black slang, it entered the mainstream leftist lexicon after being popularized by major public figures (like Michelle Obama in this case).

I like to ruffle feathers of antisemites who think of themselves as "cool" or "with it" or "woke" by employing some of their own language to confuse and annoy them.

Personally, not that I'm in the business of trying to cater to people who have a rabid desire to kill Jewish people, but I do believe that there is value (in appropriate contexts - i.e. espoused through younger people) in expressing the message of the Zionist cause (and the cause against antisemitism) in terms that are more culturally relevant to the paradigm of contemporary social justice - despite the circus it has become.
