Can someone tell me that how should I pronounce meme. Is it "me me" with two separate me's being prounced or is it "meme", a one syllable word?

    I think meem is the correct pronunciation - but I've heard some people say mem.

    It's not pronounced with two syllables.

    January was long, February was iffy, March was a freaking dumpster fire.
    So sit down, be quiet, and don't touch anything.

    Speaking of pronunciations; The creator of GIFS won an award at the Webbys a few days ago and used his 5 word acceptance speech clearing something out.

    i agree -- meem -

    however - The word meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme (from Ancient Greek μίμημα Greek pronunciation: [míːmɛːma]

      A simple way to remember it is that it rhymes with Phylogenesiticopogyistoreme.

      That's how I remember it. :rolleyes:

        Lol! I'll keep that in mind. To OP: thanks for asking this question. I was also confused about this pronunciation.

    Meme is a philisophical term populated (or coined?) by Richard Dawkins. It is Meem/Meam (think mean with an m instead of N.) Pretty simple

      That's what it was until a few years ago. Now it seems to mean any kind of image with a clever saying or quotation under it.
