Grammar
Deciphering an accent (one sentence) and what's Doobly Doo linguistics' origin
Hi guys!
If you have a second could you please help me with these two things:
1. What does a man say starting from from 1:04 to 1:16 (espicially the last 3 seconds of it) in this video:
The part to my knowledge:
'Nobody know how they built it. Still secret.
But there are a lot of people, they tried to do their best to give you some information about how they did it.
But we must say -- it's secret. ?????? ????? ?????? ????? ????? ?????'
It's obvious he keeps putting out his original thought which is 'it's a secret, no one knows', but I'm making subtitles for that video, so I'd love accurate transcription. Both your guesses and positive answers are welcome.
2. Another thing: Can someone explain Doobly Doo (a Youtube slang for descriprion box below the video) origins in terms of its linguistic origin and the motive for its inventor to first use it to describe description box overall? I've seen a lot of sources which explain its meaning and first usage. But since it's an original pharse (is it?) I need to know its language roots: does it root to a phrase with similar phonetics (doodle-doo)? I'm trying to figure out if it needs/can be adopted for other languages.
Would really appreciate your help. Thank you!
Best regards, Anthony

2. I don't know for sure, but "doobly doo" sounds to me like a made-up nonsense word for a thing one doesn't know the proper name for, along the lines of "doobry", "oojamaflip", and other similar words.
