If I remember correctly because of the limit in sounds for Japanese.

Source sounds like sauce.

Thus sauce = source
Very prevelant in 4chan and 2chan. I believe you can also use it to be mocking, like if a poster goes a bit nuts of his 'sources' in his attempt to prove something or other.

A: My sources tells me that G.W. plans to nuke Iraq!
B: What type of sauces are you talking about? Tonkatsu sauce? Ketchup sauce?
