I thought a meme was someone who constantly photographs themself and sends it to as many people as possible...
I called a meme a Me Me & my son laughed so hard he almost fell out his chair.I thought a meme was someone who constantly photographs themself and sends it to as many people as possible. So, someone constantly thinking others care what they do. Like people photographing themself, next to a sign, or landmark. A way of drawing attention to themself. As a constant me-me-me-me-me.
Yeah they had to gussy it up with fancy words, make it sound like you're reading a book, A BOOK, with nice computer generated Raphaelite paintings in it.Like calling a comic book a graphic novel

As Joel said, to me, MeMe is a term of endearment from my granddaughter to my significant other.
The word was coined by Richard Dawkins in 1976 in his book The Selfish Gene.Because it is A made up name that people with a life never heard of. With one thousand genders, we have no idea what people mean or how they
Pronounce anything.
"We need a name for the new replicator, a noun that conveys the idea of a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation. 'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'. I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate mimeme to meme. If it is any consolation, it could alternatively be thought of as being related to 'memory', or to the French word même. It should be pronounced to rhyme with 'cream'."
