- CRConrad 5y agoThat's just because the purveyors of stupid pictures-with-text have hijacked the term: The GP's usage is the original meaning of the word "meme". Ignorance like you're displaying here just helps further this trivialization of the word. Please educate yourself and join the resistance in stead.
- the_only_law 5y agoThere’s no ignorance here. The parent is 100% that the word colloquially has a completely different meaning than originally intended. You can try to “resist” cultural shifts in language, but I promise you’ll lose.
