Ahh yes, mem. It rhymes with cream. And dream. And Jim Beam. The technical definition: “An idea that, like a gene, can replicate and evolve. Examples of memes (and meme systems) include political theories, proselytizing religions, and the idea of memes itself.”

Practically, it’s any little piece of Internet lore that gets passed around and becomes temporarily well-known. See the Star Wars Kid, Tron Guy, etc.

I had to look it up too.

Okay, I’m a ‘tard. I keep hearing this word ‘meme’ thrown around on the Internet. What is it?

Well damn Matt…. you actually got me to post, and I may have also convinced BG to put his site back up…. scary thought I know but the guilt trip seems to work :-)

I’ve been memed? Dear lord, do I need to tell my parents? Let me clean the cobwebs off my Textpattern install.

Of course I stole it! If it makes you feel better, I’ll give you a free license for the Faggregator.

You did steal my post title! You’re fired. (Is there an emoticon for Trump’s hand gesture yet?)

You had to whack me in the head like that!

Once I recover from this wound on my head, I’ll get going…
