Here begins: my toot-serial snap shots of writing my thesis.

This may be a non-native English thing, but meme, is a word I did not learn until I understood the internet, and as we use memes here.
Which makes it hilarious for me to read about in the literary theory books, as it refers to the original definition:
"an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means."
@maloki I think most native English speakers discovered the word meme through the Internet definition. Before that it was an obscure term coined by Richard Dawkins and never permeated the popular vernacular with it's intended definition. I think any lexicographer worth their salt would list the internet version as the primary definition.
@Sweet_Tango_Chill It also comes from French même if I recall correctly, Even though that means "the same".
Different but the same.
I dunno, language is funny.
