What is a meme?
The Selfish Gene, Richard Dawkins (1976): We need a name for the new replicator, a noun that conveys the idea of a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation. 'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'. [...] it could alternatively be thought of as being related to 'memory,' or to the French word même.
