In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Starfoula” is an epic card of the Memes FR pack, number 2196 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3495 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Starfoula” meme mean?
Starfoula works as an interjection of disbelief or weariness, close to “oh my goodness”. The original phrase is a common Arabic expression that casual French has adopted. The meme thrives on contrast: the footballer, described on the card as the plain “ham and butter sandwich” guy, says it in an everyday, natural way. People drop it into conversation to react to an absurdity, a blunder or a surprise, always jokingly.
Where does the “Starfoula” meme come from?
The card says Griezmann let “starfoula” out at a press conference after winning the World Cup. The final took place on July 15, 2018 in Russia, with France beating Croatia 4-2. A YouTube video titled “Griezmann et Rami disent starphoullah” also circulates, showing fans picked up and shared the word. Simple and easy to repeat, it became a comment-section line around the player and the 2018 tournament.
