What does the “Matrix Bullet Dodge” meme mean?

Where does the “Matrix Bullet Dodge” meme come from?
The sole source of this visual meme is the feature film The Matrix, released in 1999 and directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski. The specific sequence shows Neo avoiding projectiles fired by an Agent through his martial arts mastery. The technical process employed, dubbed 'bullet time', combines apparent slow motion with camera rotation via a multi-camera rig. Although the effect influenced action cinema and advertising, no precise date or platform documents the first online publication of the meme. A famous recreation appears on YouTube's Slow Mo Guys channel in June 2011, but without being the certified origin of the viral phenomenon.
