A meme is an internet trend that spreads quickly from person to person via the internet.

For example:

I really should make one with my cat.
I can has your TRTLE figureenz?! NOM NOM!

A meme is the smallest amount of cultural knowledge that can be transferred from person to person. I believe it was a term coined by Richard Dawkins.

Think "gene", but for cultural practices.

Richard Dawkins is a meme.

It rhymes with gene.
So "meem".

**GK Punk** · 05-10-2010, 08:58 PM

I'm fairly positive that's how it's supposed to be pronounced.

*Koi* · 05-10-2010, 08:59 PM

Okey dokey. Thank you.

It's not meant to be funny. It's meant to show you that you can look stuff up yourself.
