how do you pronounce meme?
|
Like "meem" ...
|
It's not an acronym is it?
|
That's the truth.
|

|
|
Many pronounce it as "meem" but that's boring.. ME ME sounds much more fun, so that's how I say it..
|
Never actually said it aloud...but the voice in my head says meh-me.
I've heard it pronounced 'Mimi' - like the chick with the clown makeup on Drew Carey. |
Richard Dawkins coined the term
Famous biologist and radical atheist Richard Dawkins used the term in his book The Selfish Gene.
More if you care to find out about it unless you one of those Jesus freaks and afraid of science - Click here "Dawkins defined the meme as a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation and replication, but later definitions would vary. The lack of a consistent, rigorous, and precise understanding of what typically makes up one unit of cultural transmission remains a problem in debates about memetics.[14] In contrast, the concept of genetics gained concrete evidence with the discovery of the biological functions of DNA." |
ME ME sounds better than meem
|
4 variations so far, meem, me me, meh-me, and mimi. Fucking outstanding.
|
The real geeks that write for these pretend geeks say it's meem.

I've always said "mehm" because it seems like a French word to me. But apparently I'm really wrong. Meme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dawkins, who coined the word, meant for it to be pronounced as a rhyme to gene.

Correct pronunciation is meem. It's an actual word, not a newly invented one.
