In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “J'ai baisé la chèvre” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 1789 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3515 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “J'ai baisé la chèvre” meme mean?

The line works because of its tone: a man owns up to something beyond comprehension without a trace of shame and justifies it with absurd pragmatism. It stands for calm bad faith, the “that’s just how it is” that shuts down any debate. Online, people use it ironically about things unrelated to its literal meaning: a makeshift fix, an openly lazy shortcut, or an explanation that satisfies nobody but is delivered with total seriousness.

Where does the “J'ai baisé la chèvre” meme come from?

Several French videos carry the line in their title: “Jimmy le sicilien - J’ai baisé la chèvre” on the channel L’issou, a “2016 edition”, and a clip where Jimmy apologises to his wife. Other edits retell the story as a narrative tied to a month in prison. The character mostly lived on through internet reposts: clips, edits and comment-section quotes. The card’s text, “a hole is a hole”, supplies the punchline that gets quoted most often.
