meme (plural memes) 1  Any unit of cultural information, such as a practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another in a comparable way to the transmission of genes.
A 'meme' doesn't have to be funny, provocative or even make sense. Most memes fall into one of three categories: - 'Quirky' stuff that isn't funny. - Pathetic stuff that fills you with vicarious despair. - Revolting pictures that could be presented to some alien jury as evidence that humanity is cancer.
