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

Chimney defecating is the new 650B.

Weeing in shoes is plenty good enough.

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.
