A better title might not include puerile memes like "Protip".
- thinkling 14y agoBeing sarcastic is puerile?
- jlgreco 14y agoAlso, "protip" has been in use for what, two decades now? When does something stop being a meme and just become an idiom?
- dEnigma 14y agoAn idiom is a meme too
- jlgreco 14y agoIn the sense that it is a cultural artifact that is passed along from one individual to another, yes. In the sense that it is something annoying kids on the internet use that must be complained about, no, not necessarily.
- yuchi 14y agoI hate the abuse of the word "meme"...
- skeletonjelly 14y agoFunnily enough, the abuse of the word "meme" is now a meme.
- eropple 14y agoGamePro is, as far as I know, the originator, so sometime between 1989 and 1994 (first time I remember it). So, yeah, about two decades. :)
