I'm still not even sure what it is or why it gets talked about so much, and I really have zero interest in finding out.

It's two dudes boning, as envisioned by (largely young, straight) Japanese women. It's a bit of a dated term but it still crops up here and there. These days people usually call it "BL".

"Bara" is two dudes boning as envisioned by (almost exclusively) gay Japanese men.

"Slash" is two dudes boning as envisioned by (largely young, straight, but a sizable number of bisexual and lesbian) Western women (and some queer men).

...That's really all you'll ever need to know.

Also, the specific phrase was at one point a meme originating on Fandom Wank and implied that the person being questioned was going off on a long-winded and/or off-topic rant that no one cared about.
