cool story bro

Sarcastic listener's reply

Cool story bro is a dismissive response to something boring, irrelevant, or long-winded—the verbal equivalent of a yawn.

The phrase sarcastically pretends to find interest where none exists: You drove here? Cool story bro.

It emerged from internet culture in the late 2000s and signals that the speaker should stop talking.
