Poll: Your Pronunciation of "Meme"?

[Enzeru92]

I pronounced it meem so I guess i've been right the whole time whoo... ?

 

[kouriichi]

I used to pronounce it "me-me".

But then i learned and i changed.

8) because chicks dig that in a man. ((i learned women hate being called b*tches more then chicks))

I can't believe so many of you never knew how to say meme... I mean come on, did you not do English at school?

Considering it's a real word, I say "meem". I don't go to 4chan and then start say "raah-en-dome" because for some reason it's pronounced differently.

 

[the-kitchen-slayer]

Meem, but i know a guy who says "me me" due to the whole japanese thing...

 

[ShoopDaToaster]

I'm suprised that people actually pronounce it Me-me,thats taking the word to literally.

 

[Suzanne Allison]

I originally thought of it as Me Me, but quickly realized my mistake and corrected myself to meem.

 

[Mr.Napier]

I pronounce it mem-e

 

[Turbo_Destructor]

i pronounced it "mem", coz in an episode of arby n the chief that was how arbiter pronounced it. But I'm aware that Microsoft Mike is not the most reliable source for pronunciation.

When I first saw it I thought it was pronounced mehmeh. But now I know it's pronounced meem, which I think is the proper way.

I pronounce it "mehm". I was in french immersion at a young age, so the first time I saw the word it was pronounced that way and it kinda stuck. The french definition of the word "meme" means "same".

I assumed things we called memes, because the same thing would be repeated over and over again until it finally stuck.

I mean, the english definition is about shared culture right? I assumed that since culture is repeated in order for it to be passed down, that the origin of the word itself meant "repetition" from the french language.

I've always thought of it as me me. On a related note, last semester I became friends with a Turkish girl and she told me that meme is Turkish for breast. Suffice to say I found endless amusement saying memes around her.

 

[Nosense]

I don't know why, but even though I know its generally pronounced Meem by everyone else I just got used to saying May-May over the years.

I can't believe so many of you never knew how to say meme... I mean come on, did you not do English at school?

i've never heard the term 'meme' outside of the internet

 

[ObsessiveSketch]

It's easy, just remember "Meme Fortress 2"
(Spy sappin' my X, BOOLET, Gentlemen..., etc)

 

[Omikron009]

I've always pronounced it "meem". You know, the way it's actually pronounced.

 

[joshuaayt]

Meem, with the long "e" sound. The e at the end indicates the long vowel sound.

 

[ultrachicken]

I had this discussion with some friends at school this week...

OT: I say "meem."

 

[Korolev]

It should be Meem - like how you pronounce Gene - geen. Meme's are an analogy to Gene's - both replicate and mutate. One refers to segments of DNA, the other refers to ideas.

 

[blankedboy]

A few of my friends say "me me" no matter how much I tell them it's "meem"... but yeah, "meem", of course. Basic word structure gives it away.
