it basically means to be the first one to make up a phrase or a term for something. for example, Alan Freed coined the phrase 'rock n roll' for that genre of music. it just sounds better than saying alan freed made up the term rock and roll haha.

When someone refers to coining the phrase.... they are referring to the person who first said it. But It doesn't really mean anything kind of like a joke really because nobody really knows who first said anything.
