What does Gohan mean? Should he have heard that before?

He's referring to "just pull it out?"

Haha omg. Jk in all seriousness I think he's talking about 'here it is' an obvious assumption as its the last thing said before that.. but I'm pretty sure I've seen that somewhere in the manga before. And I'm guessing it was something big or interesting. Not much help I'm sowwy. But yea it even sounds familiar to me.
One of my favorite pictures :D

 It's probably an allusion to King Arthur and the drawing of the sword from the stone.

 The Z sword mirrors the Arthurian legend of The Sword in the Stone. Pulling a sword out of a rock/stone wasn't a new thing that DBZ created.

It's not probably, its exactly.
It was a reference to King Arthur and to make the reference even more obvious dialouge was added to the character to point it out. The "Where have I heard this before" line is pretty famous among script writers.

The Prince of All Saiyans/Debaters.

 ^ And as a fact that Gohan has become a very bright and intelligent student, he also might be referring it in one of his text books.

 When I read the comic, first thing that popped in my head is King Arthur, and I guess the story travels through all times of universe including the Dragon Ball Z Universe lol.

 As people have already said, I always took it as a reference to the tale of Arthur and the sword in the stone.

Yes and even in DB kid Goku had to pull out a sword once to close a demonic cave.

^ This. You beat me to it man.

Also when you add the fact that the sword, via training and the trapped elder kai, helped him to become the strongest regular (unfused) warrior in the universe, it's like he became king of the fighting universe.

So, in a way, the Z sword arc is DBZ's version of the King Arthur and the Sword story

We Super Saiyans are in a league of our own.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!"

 The Arthurian Legend is probably more accurate, but even if it wasn't, it wouldn't be the first time Toriyama cracked a perverse joke in Dragon Ball. In the very first chapter, when Bulma tells Goku that they're called "Dragon Balls", Goku mumbles "You mean some poor dragon...?"

 It's just Toriyama admitting that it's really cliche.
