What is this word MEME?? I started hearing the word about a year ago. I've looked the word up and every time I hear someone use it I don't get it. What makes something a meme? Where did the word meme even come from? I've been told it's a picture with words on it--really?? Why is that a meme? Why is a picture with words on it called a meme?? Isn't that just a picture with words on it? I've not even sure how to use it in a sentence--the word and what is supposedly means just doesn't make sense to me. Just saying....
