    This is a kind of hilarious send off on the process of meme-making set to the tune of that God-awful Taylor Swift song that got popular.

    Smart lyrics; College Humor is always quite funny like that but... the only thing I can really take away from that is the knowledge that 'meme' is pronounced 'meem' not 'memm' like I thought. :eek:

    "Meme" is pronounced, "meem"?
    Mind = Blown

    Actually, take that back. I'm going to still call it, "MEE MEE"

    I'm damn proud that I've been pronouncing it properly.

    I actually thought it was pronounced meh-me.

    Not that anyone I know offline knows what the hell meme's are anyway.

    I agree with Loki. It's not a word you speak, as no one in real life, except for fellow geeks, know what the hell a meme is. If they do, they don't refer to them as such, they use the name of that particular one. For the record, though, I always thought it was may-may.

    I must've gotten lucky when I ran across the word for the first time, 'cause I Googled it and found right away what has turned out to be the correct pronunciation.

    I use to pronounce it Mee Mee as well until, believe or not, my high school physics teacher corrected me. He was an WoW player.

    Edit; On Topic: Nice find, Gio. The girl actually does look like Taylor.

    Isn't "memetics" pronounced "meem-etics?" So wouldn't "meme" be "meem?"

    Regardless, it's always been "meem" to me.

    I thought they had taken a part of the video at first. But it was funny when Kanye was talking about the cheetah.

    I think memetics is "mem-etics" not "meem-etics", because "meme" is meant to be a parallel to "gene", and "genetics" is "gen-etics", not "geen-etics".

    I bet half the people in this thread think memes are just an internet thing. ¬_¬
