I can work out how to pronounce trope from how it’s written.

I believe “meme” is pronounced as a very inbred, upper class twit would, when calling for his mother: “Memmy”

Note to self: Never commission Molgrips to write me a rhyme.

….I will still consider him to lay down a phat beat, though.

“here here”
“what what?”

Meme is pronounced like “même” as in the French for “same”.

Shit in their chimney is punchy & gets my (irrelevant) vote, but doesn’t have the moderated subtlety of wee in shoes.

Plop down their pot?

I’m sticking with trope.

Smite with Pikes?

brakes has it – mainly because the pronunciation has been determined by US tech punditry types…

I have nothing sufficiently witty to add to this thread, but I would like to say that it is very good.

Surely Audi drivers would cry “hören, hören,”?

Sorry. You can’t stop progress.

Does pooping in a chimney bring the flames alive?

It’s deffo supposed to rhyme with “Gene”, and it predates the internet use it is associated with today by quite some margin.

The word meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme (from Ancient Greek ?????? Greek pronunciation: [mí?m??ma] m?m?ma, “imitated thing”, from ????????? mimeisthai, “to imitate”, from ????? mimos “mime”) and it was coined by the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976) as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. Examples of memes given in the book included melodies, catch-phrases, fashion, and the technology of building arches.
