I realize that it is not specifically an Internet word, but it became widely used recently in reference to Internet phenomena such as Snakes on a Plane, Star Wars Kid, that Badger, Badger song, and other goofy shit passed around on the Internet. I am primarily thinking of "Internet Memes" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_meme) which is why I lump it into the web-based world and not the anthropoligical one. However, you have given me cause to realize that there is a gigantic history to the word on Wikipedia, and I will have to delve into it further as I continue to avoid data entry at work.

I have seen it written out countless times, but never heard it pronounced. urbandictionary.com does not include pronunciation so I am assed out.
meme rhymes with gene.
