You know, I really miss the word "meme"
There was a day when that word was in every other GD thread - now it's virtually vanished and I feel so much less intellectual without it... :cry:

2. That's so wrong!
It wasn't too long ago that you'd get snarked at for not using it in GD...

3. Apparently, I used it wrongly
Like I didn't accent the proper 'e' or I put the prolaxative on the dipthong instead of the gerund or something.

7. Thank you... I'll probably take you up on that offer,
but right now it's all a bit too painful. Just seeing the word again is like watching the last member of a vast bison herd, standing in melancholy splendor on a darkening plain...

6. Now "meme": was that pronounced with a long 'e' or a short 'e'?
:shrug:

8. I go long e, myself
It can get confusing when you talk to Rs, however - you think they're talking about memes, but really they're just screaming "Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!"
