Over dit geluid

The short Brazilian meme voice clip saying "Meu nome é Costela" (My name is Costela), the self-proclaimed record holder of being stood up. Played over rejection and no-show moments.

This 1.4-second voice clip features someone introducing themselves with the Portuguese line "Meu nome é Costela" — "My name is Costela" — and it is tagged online as the confession of a "recordista de foras," a record holder of being given the brush-off. The delivery is deadpan and self-deprecating, which is exactly why it works: one flat sentence does the work of a whole sad story. Creators drop it at the exact moment a plan collapses or a date ghosts, letting the voice speak for the unlucky person on screen.

Pro-tip

Drop it right after a visible flake, like a cancelled plan text on screen or an empty restaurant table shot, and cut the music first so the deadpan line lands alone. Do not layer it under laughter — the joke dies when anything competes with the one sentence.

Hoe mensen het gebruiken

Reacting to a friend cancelling plans last minute.
Captioning a screenshot of an ignored message.
Punchline after a failed romantic confession.
Tagging the friend who is always stood up.

Meer informatie

This clip belongs to Brazil's huge culture of short meme voice notes shared on WhatsApp and reposted to soundboards. The line "Meu nome é Costela" became a running joke because "costela" (rib) is an odd, memorable alias, and pairing it with the title "recordista de foras" — someone with a record number of flakings — turned it into a ready-made reaction for romantic failure. No verified original video or performer is documented, so the clip survives purely as an anonymous audio meme passed between group chats and meme pages.

Veelgestelde vragen

What does "Meu nome é Costela" mean?

It means "My name is Costela" in Portuguese. Costela is the Portuguese word for "rib," so the alias itself is part of the joke — an absurd name delivering a deadpan self-introduction.

Why is this sound called the record holder of foras?

"Fora" is Brazilian slang for being rejected, stood up, or given the brush-off. The clip's existing tag, "recordista de foras," frames the speaker as the undisputed champion of getting rejected, which is the punchline creators use it for.

When should I use this sound in a video?

Use it when someone gets flaked on, ghosted, or rejected — an ignored text, a cancelled plan, an empty seat at a date. It works best as a cold punchline placed right after the rejection is revealed.
