    Default Mame

    hi, I'd like to know the meaning of "Put the blame on Mame" (From the film Gilda)

    I read that Mame is a female name. I also found that Mame means Mother; in some web pages I read "Put the blame on ME" instead of MAME. ( Does mame mean Me?)

    Please, help me..

    It's a nice piece of rhyme. Nothing more.

    Thanks Anglika for your answer,
    do you mean that "mame" doesn't mean anything? Doesn't il exist a word?
    Thank Rip

    Not at all. It's the name "Mame" in this line - let's blame everything on Mame - she's always in trouble.

    See here for the origin of the name: http://www.biblical-baby-names.com/meaning-of-mame.html
