Some years ago there was a lot of stuff on 4Chan about “FBI party van”, “vanned”, v&, etc. I’m guessing that’s part of where it has come from.

I've never seen it. Maybe it's spreading like a fungus from wifi to wifi in certain regions.

I saw it as a meme years a go. I sadly don't know the origin.
