In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Daubner liest Jugendwörter” is an epic card of the German Memes pack, number 296 of the collection, and the 13th best-known meme of its 300 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Daubner liest Jugendwörter” meme mean?
The meme says that even the silliest word turns grand when a news anchor delivers it without a flicker. People post it to mock hollow slang, to applaud perfect deadpan, or to imagine a solemn bulletin stuffed with teen talk. The humour sits in the clash between a grave voice and light words, never in making fun of the reader herself.
Where does the “Daubner liest Jugendwörter” meme come from?
Susanne Daubner trained at East German radio, where she read the news and hosted the youth programme DT64 from 1987. Later a familiar face of the Tagesschau, she appeared in August 2021 in a short vertical clip from the programme, reading the candidates for Jugendwort des Jahres, the contest for the youth word of the year. The clip spread widely, similar videos followed, and the reading came back each summer. In 2024, users even pushed to have the verb “daubnern” picked as the youth word.
