In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Smell of merguez” is a rare card of the Memes FR pack, number 2567 of the collection, and the 753rd best-known meme of its 3514 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Smell of merguez” meme mean?
The meme expresses happy impatience boiled down to a barbecue smell. “I can’t wait to smell the merguez” reminds us that the strongest anticipation often attaches to a simple pleasure: the end of training, a match, a meal with friends. Use it to say you are eager for an atmosphere, a holiday or the return of good weather. The stretched “zzzz” on the card mimics greed and the sizzle of meat on the grill.
Where does the “Smell of merguez” meme come from?
The line is linked to Christophe Urios, a Top 14 rugby coach known for his outspoken style. A Sud Ouest video is titled “Christophe Urios et l’odeur des merguez”, and other rugby videos recall the bond between the coach and merguez sausages, such as a Castres supporter giving him a merguez necklace. Cut loose from its sporting context, the sentence was reused in edits and social media sounds. The verbal tic “Tu sais ce qui me tarde?”, followed by the object of desire, ended up as a fill-in-the-blank formula.

- Announce the return of sunny days with the line under a barbecue photo.
