meme
noun
/miːm/
an idea that is passed from one member of society to another, not in the genes but often by people copying it
(Oxford learner's dictionaries)
The Oxford dictionary is made by a bunch of old English nerds. They couldn't find a meme if it was glued to a telephone pole
Yeah I'm not going to let the English language be shaped or solidified by people who have dedicated their lives to studying and deeply understanding language!
