We need a name for the new replicator, a noun that conveys the idea of a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation. 'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'.

I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate mimeme to meme. If it is any consolation, it could alternatively be thought of as being related to 'memory', or to the French word même. It should be pronounced to rhyme with 'cream'.

I have this on copy-paste at all times. It is a very important paragraph.

that's hot

Don't understand what any of it means tho.

It's just what the dude who came up with the word "meme" wrote. He's just talking about what words he's basing it off and giving it a definition, lol. It is hot tho

Ah
