You know, I've been wondering...

Just how do you pronounce "meme", anyway?

"Meem." Just looked it up on m-w.com to confirm. "meem."

[spicedrum.livejournal.com]

I always assumed it was "meem"

[belladonna.livejournal.com]

I always say "meemee" hehe.

[offscreen.livejournal.com]

Me too.

[ickieshada.livejournal.com]

Yup. Since it's basically all about "me" I pronounce it "meme."

[chymerikaen.livejournal.com]

My math teacher (b/c memes are a mathematical phenomon) pronounced it "maim" as in... "I'll maim you bitch if you look at me sideways!"

But people have been saying "meem"... ^^;; I've never heard that, could this pronounciation be a regional thing?

How do you pronounce Meme is like saying how do you pronounce OBSSE. It's regional I think. I learned it Meem in Chicago.

What is a meme anyway?

[shigure.livejournal.com]

i always said "meem."

[irenak.livejournal.com]

Y'know, I must've learned it odd because I always pronounce it "meh-me." I admit that that is probably totally wrong.

That's close to or is how I pronounce it: Mehm. Like "memory" or "get." I leave the final e as silent.

I've heard people pronounce it "mee mee," but I've always pronounced it "mehm" for some reason (like a shortened version of "memo," just without the "o" sound at the end). "Meem" makes the most sense, however.
