Am I the only person who hates the word “meme”?

29 Jan

So we’ve all seen Sh*t Girls Say and the subsequent variations on that theme, right? If not, this might be the point when you just keep your mouth shut and google it so you don’t reveal how out of touch you are with viral videos. Or, conversely, you might want to throw your laptop out a window and admit that technology has out-paced you.

For those of you who do know what I’m talking about, I present my nomination for an award I’ve just created, called Best in Meme:

You are welcome.

    Funny… – – I actually think I have never used that word. I kinda feel better now.

    I’ve seen the videos and I still don’t know what a meme is. I guess I haven’t been keeping up with my googling.

    What’s really sad is that I do know someone who said that the Twilight movies deserve an Oscar. It took all my reserve not to smack him upside the head.

      Wow. Maybe we need to film a new video: Sh*t People Say That Makes You Want to Smack ‘Em Upside The Head?
