Meme
The word meme corresponds to an element of a culture or a system of behaviour that is passed from one individual to another either by imitation or by other non-genetic means.
The word has also come to denote images, videos, and pieces of text, often humorous in nature and sometimes with slight variations, that is shared rapidly by users of the Internet.
Origin
The word meme was introduced by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in 1976 in his popular book, The Selfish Gene He coined the word when looking for a new name to express a particular idea and arrived at it from Greek sources, and intentionally making it sound like gene.
The digital sense of the word has been around since 1997, when the practice of spreading certain images and text on the Internet was picking up rapidly.
Usage
The entire group was in splits after seeing the meme shared in response to the statement.
