Know Your Meme

I take a peculiar kind of pride in knowing all kinds of obscurestuff.   Mind you . . . my hubby is thelord-god-king of little known factoids . . .

I’m kind of embarrassed that I only recently discovered whata meme is.  I mean I know what a meme isbut I didn’t know it had an actually name.

If you are as clueless as I am, the term meme (meem)was first coined in 1976.  It is an idea,behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture.

But what I’m talkingabout is internet meme.  An internetmeme is used to describe a concept that spreads via  . . . (drumroll) . . . the Internet.

Well, it turns out that I love memes.  The cute fuzzy ones, at least.

Although, there are some pretty bizzarro ones out there.
