In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Parle a ma main” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 1387 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3496 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.

What does the “Parle a ma main” meme mean?

The phrase expresses a flat refusal to listen: you hold up your palm, turn away from the other person’s speech and signal that the conversation is over. It is delivered with theatrical exaggeration, usually as a joke, in front of a repetitive complaint, an annoying critique or a poor excuse. The lyric quoted on the card, about someone being pitiful and tiresome, sets the tone: a mocking, almost childish rejection. The expression has become a common line of casual French well beyond the song.

Where does the “Parle a ma main” meme come from?

“Parle à ma main” is the fifth single by French parody group Fatal Bazooka, taken from the album “T’as vu ?”. Recorded in 2006, it came out on 15 October 2007 with Yelle on vocals; Michaël Youn, who wrote and produced it, plays the lead role in the video. The title is inspired by the English expression “talk to the hand”, which the song helped popularize in France. It entered the French chart at number 2, then hit number 1 and stayed there for seven straight weeks. The video won Clip of the Year at the 2008 NRJ Music Awards and has passed 60 million views.
