I don't even know what a meme is. I think it's one of those jargon words meant to keep people outside the know, as opposed to in the know. No one has ever explained meme to me adequately and it seems to have no etymology whatsoever.

Yes, I can google it, Matt. My googling has not found me an acceptable definition of the "word." It seems to mean whatever a techy-literate person wants it to mean. So VTPKL off.

I couldn't even get a roomful of web designers to agree on how to pronounce it.
I always say "meme" is a meme.

whats wrong with the wikipedia definition?
Re: Answer: "White, seemingly indestructible, and bad for the environment." - Gutenberg - 03-01-2011
There are many better words to fit the wikipedia definition--"idea" is one, "concept" is another, "thought" is a third, etc. etc. I stand by my belief that "meme" is a jargon word that unnecessarily complicates a simple concept.
