There was an ancient Greek word mimema,
pronounced [my me ma], which meant "something copied [imimated]".
it evolved into 2 English words - mime and meme. That's why you may have seen or heard the word meme & wondered what it had to to with the internet. An example of a meme is the "pepperspraying cop" showing up in & on damned near everything for a few days. If you already knew that, sorry to waste your time.
If you are in your 50s, like everyone I went to high school with, you're welcome.
