In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Les miséroïdes” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 3931 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 “Les miséroïdes” meme mean?

The term is used to fondly and self-mockingly describe a group or person who seems to attract small disasters: late trains, cascading mishaps, days that go sideways right from waking up. Far from unkind, the word works as an ironic badge of honor worn by those who know how to laugh at their own bad luck instead of complaining about it.

Where does the “Les miséroïdes” meme come from?

The word “Miséroïde” combines “misère,” meaning hardship or misfortune, with the suffix “-oïde,” which suggests resemblance or belonging to a category, as in “asteroid” or “android.” This humorous construction creates a kind of fictional category grouping people who seem statistically destined to chain small misfortunes together. The term fits a widespread tradition of invented nicknames that turn bad luck into a shared running gag, where naming one's own misfortune is exactly what makes it bearable, even funny, within a group of friends or an online community.

How to use the “Les miséroïdes” meme

  • Calling yourself a “Miséroïde” after a day where everything goes wrong.
  • Describing a group of friends who chain small mishaps as a bunch of Miséroïdes.
