In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Nan mais je m'en fou madame” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 3900 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3503 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Nan mais je m'en fou madame” meme mean?
Away from its source, the phrase is used to show open indifference towards a serious subject, or to mock someone who dodges a question abruptly. The final “madame” gives it the feel of a curt politeness. Care is needed: the date it points to is a real historical tragedy, and the meme is mostly a sarcastic quote of a brusque reply in a verbal spat.
Where does the “Nan mais je m'en fou madame” meme come from?
YouTube videos relay an exchange in which David Lisnard, mayor of Cannes, is asked about 17 October 1961 and answers “je m’en fous”, roughly “I don’t care”. That date is when French police violently repressed an Algerian march in Paris organised by the FLN’s France federation during the Algerian War, according to Wikipedia. The exchange was clipped and shared; the blunt answer triggered reactions and parodies. The pages checked do not all give the exact date of the sequence. The meme version, more colloquial, rephrases the line with “nan mais” and “madame”.
- 1961On 17 October, French police crack down on a march of Algerians in Paris.
