Just for kicks and giggles I looked up the word “meme” in the prestigious Merriam-Webster dictionary today and I found that the way 99% of us use it is listed as the SECOND definition. You know what the primary definition was?
“An idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture.”
And like, yeah, OK, sure, but that’s not what anybody thinks when they hear the word “meme.” What they think is a rectangle with text and an overly-compressed .jpeg that makes you spit your chocolate milk all over your keyboard. Put that in your dictionary, you cowards.
Here are 10 examples of the true definition of the word meme. The definition we carry in our hearts.
