I hadn't heard it either until FD Signifier used it in a video. I guess it originally referred to the "in universe" fiction of professional wrestling, but FD took it out of that context and now I use it all the time -- well, it doesn't come up that often, but it's a concept that's needed a word for a while now... Especially now that "alternative facts" are becoming so prevalent.
