AFAIK it's been a challenge some people did on... twitter I think?
Basically it's "Tell me you're XYZ without telling me you're XYZ" and people responded with funny answers.
At some point that got turned around and people satrted to use that sencence structure to indicate that the thing they are commenting on would have been a great answer for that challenge.

Thanks yeah, I've seen that sort of thread. If anything in this particular case it would make more sense if the comment was "tell me what country you're from without telling me what country you're from."
