This is a silly expression that means nothing. The origin of the error may possibly have something to do with Kant's "categorical imperative" in moral philosophy, but the popular success of the phrase is probably best explained by the fact ca-te-gor-ic-al has five syllables, of which numbers 1,3 and 5 lend themselves to emphasis, which pattern can be continued with the "L" word itself, so that calling someone, not just a liar but a "CA te GOR ic AL LI er" is more satisfying than just calling him a "Liar", because you hit him four times instead of once.
