In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “C’est une pie” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 2427 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3493 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “C’est une pie” meme mean?
The line expresses the irritation of the person who knows nature facing someone who knows nothing about it. The coarse ending sets up a ridiculous quarrel: the anger is out of all proportion to what is at stake, and that mismatch is the joke. People use it to correct a friend on something obvious, to tease a big-city resident lost in the countryside, or to react to a question that is just too naive. It plays on the old town-versus-country divide, handled as a joke.
Where does the “C’est une pie” meme come from?
The meme revolves around the magpie, a bird everybody has already seen. The Eurasian magpie measures 44 to 56 cm including its tail, its black plumage shows blue, violet and green reflections against a white belly, and it thrives in hedgerows, parks and gardens, often close to people. No wonder a line yelled about it turned into an interjection: the sentence is lifted out of its context and reused as it stands, with the comedy of a roared reproach over a trivial matter.
How to use the “C’est une pie” meme
- Reply with it when a friend mistakes a common bird for a rare species.
- Post it under a photo of a city slicker lost in the middle of a forest.
- Fire it off whenever someone asks a general-knowledge question that is way too easy.
