Meme

It's natural for people to want other people to think they're smart. That's why we all use words like "meme". In doing so, we show that we know stuff you don't, like what a "meme" is.

And what it is is this: basically, a colloquialism or saying that is so tiredly overused that mostly everyone has heard (or seen) it at some point and hates it. It's basically something that is so retarded that ultimately everyone thinks it's bloody hilarious.

The kid coming home from the dentist: internet meme.

"All your base are belong to us"= meme. Etc.

Memes themselves are alright. But using the word is wholly pretentious. Most people won't know what the hell you're talking about, so what's the point? Let's just call them "stupid sayings", or describe them old-fashionedly as "viral videos", or "that thing from the Internets".

But yeah. Meme, it was a brilliant career, but you're done. You suck!
