In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Kandibober” is a legendary card of the Russian Memes pack, number 6 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 “Kandibober” meme mean?
It comes out when something improbable escapes you, an accessory or gadget you have no word for: “what is that kandibober?”. The word also has the roundness of a joke, which makes it easy to slip into a conversation for a smile. It is a good example of an absurd word propelled by a harmless video.
Where does the “Kandibober” meme come from?
It all starts with a street interview shot in Minsk, Belarus, where a very singular red hat catches the camera. The word “kandibober” is spoken there, and the video, circulating in 2010 on the Runet, made it known well beyond the original street. Clips on YouTube have since revisited the word as questions or reunions, notably in Minsk, showing the expression never left local memory. Today the word slips into conversations to name any object of unclassifiable look.
How to use the “Kandibober” meme
