Don't sum up what you think of me in one word. I'm not in a meme mood!

And by the way, where does the word "meme" come from?

Richard Dawkins, IIRC - I think it comes up in the final chapter of "The Selfish Gene". At least, that's where I first read the concept, and I think he coined the phrase.

It's really meant to be the mimetic equivelant of a gene, i.e. a small piece of information which has a drive to replicate itself.

Meme, in my head anyway, means "me! me! talk about me!" ... Not that that's ever a problem and i wouldn't slag anyone off for it, since it's practically the whole point of LJ anyway.
