$WTF is a Meme? If you don't know, you seriously need to see this because, as we all no the interbutts is serious business. (scroll down for music credits) To Clarify: 1) Meme is pronounced with a long 'E', ie rhymes with 'scream'. If you don't believe me look up Merriam-Webster, those assholes who make dictionaries for a living. They agree. Pronouncing it any other way is un-American and angers Chuck Norris, Superman, and Captain America. Pronunciation: \ˈmēm\ (long 'e') Function: noun Etymology: alteration of mimeme, from mim- (as in mimesis) + -eme Date: 1976 : an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture Still don't believe me? How about Richard Dawkins? Since you fanbois like to bend it and rave about how great he is read: The Selfish Gene (2nd ed., new ed ed.), Oxford: Oxford University Press, pp. 368 Dawkins himself says it was borrowed from a French word but should be pronounced with the long 'e'. Read the stupid book if you care so much. Point being if you pronounce it any other way besides long 'e', you're wrong, you've been wrong, or you're French. Either way, not looking good. 2) I am not affiliated with any particular website. Any idiot can take random pictures off the interbutts, add some music and make a stupid video out of them. I submit not only this video but YouTube in its entirety as evidence. 3) For those prone to quoting stupid internets rules: First read my previous point. Also, since you're such a meme <b>...</b>$ What is a Meme?
