In MyMemeCards, the meme card game, “Not What I Say, What I Do” is a rare card of the Permanent Edition French Twitch Memes Season 1, number 21 of the collection, and the 20th best-known meme of its 78 cards. Here is what the meme means, where it comes from, and how to get its card.
What does the “Not What I Say, What I Do” meme mean?
The phrase plays on the well-known proverb that scolds people for ignoring their own advice. Here the words are mixed up until the sentence stops making clear sense, and that is exactly the joke. People use it when someone trips over their own syntax, when an explanation becomes unreadable, or to poke gentle fun at everyday hypocrisy. The feeling is the giggle you get from grammar that derails in real time.
Where does the “Not What I Say, What I Do” meme come from?
The card takes its line from a Twitch broadcast where the speaker tries to say the saying “do as I say, not as I do” and delivers a muddled version with an extra word and a meaning that goes in circles. The moment was clipped, then copied across chats, comment sections and edits. It joins the long list of live-stream slips that French-speaking communities like to collect: one simple language mistake, repeated often enough, turns into a badge of belonging.

- Quote it when a friend contradicts themselves mid-explanation.
- Answer a piece of advice with it when the adviser never follows it.
