What does the “Mais c'est quoi une couisse ?” meme mean?
The word does not exist, and that is exactly why people quote it. It sits halfway between two poultry cuts, close enough to be understood and wrong enough to raise a smile. The question keeps the tone of a genuine enquiry: nobody is performing, the word simply came out that way. So it returns when you are hunting for the exact name of something, when someone mangles one, or to admit gently that a technical term went straight past you. It works well in writing, where the invented word stands out on its own.
Where does the “Mais c'est quoi une couisse ?” meme come from?
The video used as the card’s source was posted on 16 May 2016 by the channel Jahid Bou. In it a man facing his meal asks the question out loud, with the seriousness of someone who genuinely wants to know. No web encyclopedia documents the sequence, and the sources consulted say neither where it was filmed nor who is asking, so the card describes only what the video shows. The invented word did the rest: more memorable than the scene, it came loose from the chicken and became a way of naming any approximate term. Today the quote circulates mostly in writing, often with its author unidentified by the people using it.
