Why would you want to say it off the internet lol.

Meeem is the correct pronunciation.

I say it like "meem".

I say it as if I said the word in spanish, "Meh Meh".

It's Mimi.

I only pronounce it meh meh.

In videos I've heard people say "meem" although in my mind I say "meh-may" when I read it.
I've been thinking about this too, lately.

This is the way I say it and im pretty sure it's the right way , i have to beat myself now for knowing this shit.

Meem, I think.

This further proves why I hate the ambiguity of English.

Spanish ftw.

it rhymes with gene

Mem, or mehm.
Like men, except with an m. That has some better flow to it.

But everybody else calls it meem, like beam with an m.

Fuck you all though, my pronunciation is cooler.

The whole thing is supposed to be the cultural equivalent of 'genes'.

Like, bits of cultural units (i.e. ideas, values, behaviours etc.) that are passed on from person to person. A self-replicating piece of cultural information.

As far as I know, it is a combination of the word 'mimic' and the word 'gene'.

Also, the word 'memetics' exists, just like 'genetics'.

All of this adds up to the pronunciation of the word 'meme' as 'meem'. It's all very simple.

"mim"

like the 'e' in "bend"

like with meme chose etc etc.

I pronounce it meh-may.

Me and all my friends always pronounce it may may.... I dunno the proper translation... Maybe wiki it?

it's pronounced "meem" jackass.

According to ED, it's any way you want.
Meem
Meemee
maymay
mehmeh

And any combination of that.

Sounds really stupid but what doesn't?

It's "meem" actually.
