In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “etranger” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 5492 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 “etranger” meme mean?

The caption takes an ordinary sight — an animal in a human environment — and recasts it as something strange: the animal is an “etranger.” The mismatch between the question and its answer can make a familiar scene feel mysterious, out of place, or oddly integrated into daily life. Available sources do not document how people specifically use the meme, so these interpretations remain based on the caption itself.

Where does the “etranger” meme come from?

The origin of this meme has not been established by the available sources. They do not identify the person shown or speaking, an original video, a show, or a platform where it first appeared. No creation date or first-post date is known. The caption pairs a question about an animal living among humans with the answer “etranger,” giving the scene an absurd or unsettling twist. The spelling “parmis,” sometimes associated with the phrase, has not been confirmed as part of the original version either. The sources found discuss memes in general but do not document this particular example. Its creator, route of spread, and period of circulation therefore remain unknown.

How to use the “etranger” meme

  • Caption a photo of an animal spotted somewhere it seems out of place.
  • React to a mysterious-looking image by framing the animal as an unexpected visitor.
  • Describe an animal that seems oddly at home among people.
