Quoted:
Could someone, in one or two clear standard English sentences, explain what a "meme" is. Yes I know I could look it up, but humor me. Thank you. A meme (pronounced /ˈmiːm/, rhyming with "cream"[1]) is a postulated unit or element of cultural ideas, symbols or practices, and is transmitted from one mind to another through speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. |

The word for 'same' in French is 'meme' except the first 'e' has the little house-top symbol. eta: or was that a 'grave' accent? |
