In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Kanté “f*ck you”” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2911 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3498 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Kanté “f*ck you”” meme mean?
The meme is a non-problem: Kanté, a player known for his kindness, says a plain thank-you in English, and listeners’ ears turn it into an insult. The laugh comes from the contrast between his discreet image and the line he is accused of saying. People use it to tease an accent, a misunderstanding or what they think they hear, always without malice. It is also a textbook mondegreen, the misheard-words humour the internet loves.
