In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Speaking in Cursive” is a legendary card of the Italian Memes pack, number 2 of the collection, and the 4th 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 “Speaking in Cursive” meme mean?
People say someone is “speaking in cursive” to mock an overly drawn-out, melodic accent, usually linked to wealthier Milanese neighbourhoods. The phrase goes along with exaggerated impressions of that intonation.
Where does the “Speaking in Cursive” meme come from?
Italian creator Elisa Esposito built a TikTok character giving mock “cursive lessons,” a caricature of a Milanese accent marked by stretched vowels and a singsong intonation associated with a well-off urban crowd. Filmed like real lessons with drills and corrections, the videos got picked up by other creators, including duo iPantellas, who reused the character in their own sketches, cementing “parlare in corsivo” as shorthand for that accent.
