Poll: Your Pronunciation of "Meme"?

[Meemaimoh]

I always said meem, but for some reason I also always thought it was wrong. Apparently I was right all along. Go me!

 

[Xelien]

I think when I 1st saw the word I pernouced as "me-meh" but that was only for a short while. Now I can't see th word pernounced any other way than "meem"

 

[PiFace314]

... People don't pronounce it "meem"? Weird...

 

[Dana22]

Just like "Genes", "Meems", "Meem". K.

 

[OriginalError]

I've always pronounced it mehm, not sure why.

This, I believe its the first way I ever heard it pronounced.

Meem, the way Richard Dawkins intended, because it's kind of like "gene" (thanks, wikipedia!).

I wish that was the reason, really it's because the first time I heard the word (at all) was on Doctor Who, with the Adherents of the Repeated Meme.

Also, I believe there is a rather *ahem* informative article on ED relating to the pronunciation of meme.

Always thought it was 'me-me' to be honest. Never heard it being said in real life, so I'm not sure really.

 

[Kinguendo]

It's meem, right? Memes and genes.

Pepe and meme? As in "Meme le Pew was a boarderline rapist".

 

[Crazy_Bird]

So my question to you is, how do you pronounce "Meme"? I hope I'm not the only one who pronounces it a different way than the majority.

According to the concept and the creator of this concept it is supposed to rhyme with gene (and therefore with cream as well).

What a sad thread... And so the number of those to be excluded from the master race increases.

/facepalm

similar to the pronunciation of MAIM

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Meem... who pronounces it "may-may"? No word deserves to be pronounced like that.

 

[Xyliss]

I was unsure of how to pronounce it, it was either ME-Me or Meem to me...but then one day I just stuck with using Meem...this is the first time I've heard that's correct...Huzzah!

 

[felixdan1]

as in the internet meme or the annoying thing teenagers say?

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

"Meh May".

I know how it's supposed to be pronounced, I just don't care.
Odd considering how often I try my best to correctly pronounce other things when I learn the correct way, but I decided that I preferred "Meh-May" by a large margin to the other choice.

Not sure why you found this so shocking, I just went "Huh" upon seeing the Wiki, then looked up the origin of Pedobear, Or was it Pedobear then Meme? Either way, I kinda wish I remembered why I was even looking those two things up.

 

[Crapster]

I say meem. Unless we're speaking French in which case I pronounce it mehm, becuase it's pretty much the French word for "same."
