In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “I Would Prefer to Die” is a rare card of the Italian Memes pack, number 82 of the collection, and the 76th 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 “I Would Prefer to Die” meme mean?
It is typed to step out of a commitment, a meeting or an awkward scene with good manners: not a flat no, but a dramatic, perfectly courteous preference for the end.
Where does the “I Would Prefer to Die” meme come from?
Boris follows the making of the soap Gli occhi del cuore 2 and its cast’s whims. Orlando is one of the characters, and in the meme he is the one who asks to be written out of the story in an extremely polite formula. The exact line was not verified in the sources checked, so only its usage is described: it is picked up by anyone who wants to back out theatrically.
