In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “That’s not what I said” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2462 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3502 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “That’s not what I said” meme mean?
The line stands for the shameless denial: you said something, you know it, everybody heard it, and you swear otherwise. It fits clumsy backpedalling, mock outrage and the dodging of an awkward remark. The detour through “Blackapart” adds a layer of nonsense: the phrase that is meant to bring seriousness back turns into an invented word, then into a garbled “what?”. People use it when a friend quotes them word for word, or just to get a laugh by overplaying the offence.
Where does the “That’s not what I said” meme come from?
The meme rests on two pieces that follow each other: the cry “C’est pas ce que j’ai dit !” and the tirade “Blague à part, blague à part… Blackapart? Quoi”. Spoken aloud, “blague à part” is repeated like a verbal tic, then slides into “Blackapart”, a sound-based pun that only the ear catches. The follow-up question, pronounced “qoua”, makes the whole thing fully absurd. This kind of line spreads because it is easy to quote: reproduce the rhythm and a group of friends recognises the reference straight away.
How to use the “That’s not what I said” meme
- Reply “C’est pas ce que j’ai dit !” when a friend quotes a sentence you regret.
- Open with “Blague à part, blague à part…” before a remark nobody expected.
- Comment on a screenshot where someone contradicts their own message.
- Twist “blague à part” into “Blackapart” to get a laugh from people who know the reference.

How to get the “That’s not what I said” card
Every pack holds 5 meme cards, the first 3 of them Common; That’s not what I said comes out of the Memes FR pack as a common card. The pack odds say what each rarity weighs.
Your first pack is free and needs no account. After that a new free pack lands every 10 minutes, up to 3 waiting for you. You can also buy the card with MemeCoins on the market, bid for it at auction, or trade it — and a double recycles into 5 MemeCoins.
The reprint of the “That’s not what I said” card
The “That’s not what I said” card was reprinted as Rare (No. 3,242). A reprint is the same meme printed again, with a number of its own and a higher rarity than its first printing, which was common. Its face reads “Reprinted card · Higher rarity”.
Every printing is dealt in the packs of the Memes FR pack, each at its own rarity: the higher it is, the rarer the card is to pull. Copies of the first printing already pulled stay as they are, and any printing counts toward completing a set.
MyMemeCards reprints a meme when it deserves more than the rarity of its first printing, such as a classic that became iconic after it came out: the reprint gives it a place among the most sought-after cards without taking anything from the players who already had it.

Frequently asked questions
What does “Blackapart” mean?
It is a pun on “blague à part”, the French way of saying “jokes aside”. The meme turns it into an invented word, which makes the line absurd.
What does “C’est pas ce que j’ai dit” mean as a meme?
It is a bad-faith denial: the speaker rejects their own words right after they were heard. It is almost always used jokingly.
Why is “blague à part” repeated twice?
The repetition mimics a verbal tic and sets up the punchline. It gives the ear time to hear “Blackapart” before the final question.
