meme
noun
/miːm/
an idea that is passed from one member of society to another, not in the genes but often by people copying it
(Oxford learner’s dictionaries)
The Oxford dictionary is made by a bunch of old English nerds. They couldn’t find a meme if it was glued to a telephone pole
That’s basically straight from Richard Dawkins, who literally invented the term like 50 years ago.
A meme is to information ideas what a gene is to genetic information.
Edit: my word choice was bugging me.
50 years ago the internet wasn’t even a thing. Also that dude is yet another old guy.
It is lazy to just post a screenshot. At least convert it into a actual meme. There are plenty of templates that would work.
That is actually a meme though, it’s an idea that spreads.
It’s just a meme you don’t like
It is very much not a meme. If they added something to it like Obi wan or Shriek it would but just some random screenshot does not count
The term you’re confusing with meme is image macro.
:P
A meme is just something funny that you share, so anything someone finds funny and posts online or shares with one friend is sharing memes.
A meme is just something
funnythat you share
By the technical definition, it doesn’t even have to be funny, it only needs to be quickly sharable
What are chain email jokes than the OG meme? If you take a picture of the joke and share it, you just memed it. Share it vocally, and yeah it’s not then.
What if you write it again? And I meant that it doesn’t seem right even though it technically mighr be.
