Meme

This has been bothering me for a while...whenever I run into another person and mention 'memes' they always pronounce it differently. I've gotten 'meemee' 'mem' and other such things.

Correct pronunciation of "meme"?


From Dictionary.com:

meme
[meem] Show IPAnoun: a cultural item that is transmitted by repetition in a manner analogous to the biological transmission of genes.

So, there you have it...next time you are talking about the world of the internet and you don't want to sound like an idiot...say 'meem'.

  1. I'm surprised so many people pronounce it wrong. I mean, just say it how it looks, and usually you'll be fine. :)
