In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Just asking” is a rare card of the Spanish Memes pack, number 169 of the collection, and the 157th 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 “Just asking” meme mean?
People quote it right after asking an awkward or nosy question, to defuse the reaction by pretending it was mere curiosity.
Where does the “Just asking” meme come from?
The phrase comes from Belén Esteban, a commentator known for her appearances on Spanish reality shows such as “Sálvame”. She would heavily stress the word “pregunto” after asking a nosy question, as if clearing herself of any ill intent. Spanish humour accounts later picked up this verbal tic to accompany any overly curious question.
