In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “La soudure” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 4413 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3497 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “La soudure” meme mean?

The phrase builds on the literal image of welding, which joins two pieces of metal permanently, to describe an equally solid human bond. It is used to describe a friendship that holds up over time, a closeness that survives arguments or distance, or a tight-knit group that always moves forward together. As a caption on a photo between friends or a comment on a scene of solidarity, it proudly, and with a touch of humour, states that nothing can separate the people involved.

Where does the “La soudure” meme come from?

The phrase builds on the technical vocabulary of welding, which permanently joins two pieces of metal, repurposed in informal French to describe an equally solid human bond. The term has long circulated in everyday speech to describe an unbreakable friendship or a tight-knit group, before being picked up as a caption on social media for photos between friends or filmed scenes of solidarity. Its use as a meme mainly turns a technical image into an emotional statement, reused for how well it paints the picture rather than for any single event that launched it.

The reprint of the “La soudure” card
