ferme ta gueule salope, va te faire enculer ça te donnera des couleurs (BestOfTrends)In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Mean grandma” is a common card of the Memes FR pack, number 2635 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Mean grandma” meme mean?
The meme flips a cliché: the person you picture as gentle and reassuring starts name-calling with total ease. The laugh comes from the surprise and the sincerity of her tone, which makes the insults almost endearing. People use it to tease a relative who flares up, to comment on a cutting remark, or to caption a photo of a grandmother looking falsely innocent. The point is her attitude more than the harshness of the words.
Where does the “Mean grandma” meme come from?
The meme shows a grandmother whose “noms d’oiseaux” (literally “bird names”, French for mild colourful insults) are her trademark: she delivers them calmly, straight to camera, with a frankness that amused viewers. The success of the clip rests on the opposition between her age and composure and the punch of her words, a very common comic device. It has been shared and reworked into captions, stickers and short edits.
How to use the “Mean grandma” meme
- Send it to a friend who grumbles about everything.
