It's a modem burnout.
I'm sure McTag didn't recognize the phrase because of context or simply a temporary brain freeze, such as the time my brother challenged the word "doing" in a game of Scrabble.
I looked at him in puzzlement and asked why he would challenge the word.
He said, "What the hell is a doing? (rhyming it with "Boing!", the cartoonish noise you sometimes hear.)
He was a bit embarrassed when he realized his error.
