The '19 in French' meme is a popular phonetic prank based on the French word for nineteen, 'dix-neuf'. To an English speaker, the pronunciation of 'dix-neuf' sounds remarkably similar to the phrase 'deez nuts', leading to a massive wave of bait-and-switch jokes across TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter. This meme typically involves asking someone to translate the number or listen to the Google Translate audio, resulting in a comedic punchline that catches the listener off guard. It belongs to the same family of wordplay memes as 'Ligma' and 'Sugoma', relying on cross-linguistic similarities to revive classic internet humor.
