Pronouncing it "mee mee" is the same 'slang' term for female genitalia in China

Originally I did pronounce it as "Meh-Meh" but after learning of my mistake quickly got used to pronouncing it as "meem".

I've always pronounced it mehm, not sure why.
This even though I've known for years the correct way, in my head its always this. It just sounds less retarded to me.

Meh-meh here as well. Why would you pronounce it as "Meem" when it clearly has 2 syllables written?

But I guess it's like Herbs. America-english says 'erbs' while brittish-english says 'herbs'.

Meme is pronounced 'meem', as people have said, Richard Dawkins came up with it, and it's pronounced like that so it could be similar to 'gene'.

I pronounce it "meem", but then again I dont often say it. Richard Dawkins is one of the creepiest men in science so I try to avoid him, no matter how important and influential his contribution to evolution might be.

When it comes to my popular science, give me Michio Kaku, Jim Al-Khalili or that stoner northern bloke any day...

Just wondering, how would you pronounce "gene", then?

EDIT: That youtube source isn't always correct, but for a bit of a (terrible) joke, I used it as a source since he's correct about this particular word. :p

"Meem." Anything else just sounds stupid (no offence). At least this time i'm in the majority, last time i did a pronunciation poll i was in a minority.
