Gee, theres a ten page thingy on meme on wikipedia. Only a linguist will be able to decypher what it's trying to say.
ReplyDeleteok i've looked it up. an example is the tagging; something that is passed on, either an idea or a game or something like that
ReplyDeleteYeah the Wiki one's a bit intense, Google was a better pick for this research I think

I always thought it meant "Me, Me" as in - this thing I'm writing is a meme cos it is about "Me, Me".
ReplyDeleteAlso never use Wikipedia as it is full of po-faced, boob-suckling, indulgent double talk.

no one has given me a satisfactory answer thus far, but i think your contribution is best

Invented by Richard Dawkins in the 70s. A unit by which something like an idea - like religion - can be passed on, like a gene.
