Same here. In fact, I think I recall Dawkins saying that it ought to rhyme with ‘gene’ because he proposed it as a parallel idea: Memes are to thoughts what genes are to proteins.
You’ve heard that grey is the new black? Well, “meme” is the new “paradigm”.
Ouch!! FWIW, that’s a lot better than your usual dig at Lib.
I try to avoid ‘meme’ for the most part, but it seemed appropriate here.
What chafes me, though, is that I was trying to get a meme going of “Bush = Baghdad Bob”. And I frickin’ blew it - in the thread title itself! (Guess where is the one place on a MB where typos actually bother me. Yep, thread titles. Aaauugghh!!)
But I won’t apologize for ‘Sunni optimism’ - no way. I’m proud of that one.
I must say, “Sunni optimism” was just so bad it’s brilliant, BRILLIANT I said!
Ha!
