In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Pète moi l’c*l Giroud” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 1555 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 “Pète moi l’c*l Giroud” meme mean?

The line works like a chant: it is repeated, shouted and sung in a group. The comedy comes from the gap between its coarse wording and the real fondness for a striker the public loves, called by friendly nicknames, “Gigi” and “Rourou”. People bring it out after a goal, during a match with friends, or whenever a group needs a lift. It expresses loud joy, camaraderie and gang humour that aims to make everyone laugh and sing together rather than to hurt anyone.

Where does the “Pète moi l’c*l Giroud” meme come from?

The card’s name and tagline, “Tous Gigi, tout Rourou, tous Gigi allez Rourou”, point to Olivier Giroud, born on 30 September 1986 in Chambéry. Called up by Laurent Blanc in 2011, he scored his first France goal in February 2012 in a friendly against Germany. A Euro 2016 finalist, a 2018 World Cup winner and a 2022 finalist, he passed fifty international goals, which makes him one of the great scorers in the history of the team. His popularity with supporters explains the chants and spoofs about him. The refrain became a running joke repeated in conversations, online and in stadiums, with the nicknames as its trademark.
