And d) just because you say whatever the fuck you want it doesn't mean it's grammatically correct. The term "blog" makes no sense. It's not short for weblog, 'blog is short for weblog, with the apostrophe. That's how you shorten things in english: cannot -> can't, will not -> won't, mushrooms -> 'shrooms. "Blog" is just a catchphrase, a buzzword, and it's not like it sounds good when spoken aloud either.

For all I care, I now consider "blogs" to be live/deadjournals where the most important thing in the world is to make it heard that you're feeling depressed and listening to your Linkin' Park album. A weblog is by definition a number of entries all commenting on or linking to content on other web sites or in the media. Anything else is just a glorified fucking diary with permalinks.

"Meme" is also the stupidest word ever, right up there with "blog". "Check out my blaaaaaaaaaarghgrhgh, ie my livejournal, because I'm stupid and a) can't spell weblog correctly and b) doesn't notice that it's hosted on a domain with 'journal' in its name, and not fucking 'blog'." If you use the world "blog", grow a brain.


The word "meme" isn't just an online thing, it's just that memes seem to spread rabidly online.

The word "meme" (rhymes with "dream" and "theme") means a self-propagating unit of cultural evolution. A smiley, for example, is a visual meme. Once you see it, you are likely to like it, copy it, reproduce it, and show it to others. It can be anything from language, music, skills, moral and aesthetic values, etc... as long as it can be passed on.

It just happens that there are a lot of rather silly memes online, that's all Which is why the word "meme" gets a bad rap, because people associate flash files with it, rather than say... moral values, or ideas, which are also memes.

Some Memes that aren't necessarily online include:

* Songs
* Poems
* Jokes
* Movies
* Conspiracy Theories
* Technology (ie, paperclips are memetic, for example)
* Proverbs
* Nursery Rhymes
* Religion and other beliefs
* Chain Letters

Sure, the purpose of this thread is internet memes, but the statement that *ALL* memes are internet phenomenon is... well, wrong.
