Figma balls lmao gottem

Could somebody explain this "figma balls" joke? There are no entries on urban dictionary.

It comes from "Ligma balls".

The word Ligma sounds like a disease, so you would say something like "it seems like he has Ligma" and bait someone into saying "Ligma?" or "What's Ligma?" at which point you say "Ligma balls"

You can add "LMAO GOTTEM" at the end for extra punch

Aha. Sort of works for Ligma. Unless I'm too old for these jokes, it makes no sense to me whatsoever for Figma.

Figma resembles the word ligma. Figma on its own does not work.

We're several layers deep into the meme
