BTW, to all you idiots mis-pronouncing it at home, it's pronounced MEEM. Not ME-me or me-ME.
If you talk about memes at home, you are an idiot. No matter how you pronounce it.
Why so? A meme is an unit of social information - i.e. a cultural entity (a phrase, a gesture, a behaviour) shared by a group of people. It doesn't just apply to the internet, but it applies to real life. For instance, the concept of "soul" to describe a human being (grammatically a metonimy) is a meme.
Please do realise that there is a world outside the internet, and preferably do that before you call others idiots. Thanks.
