*being rather new to blogs, I am still surprised at how the definition of meme seems to have evolved into this narrow concept --- at least within this community. Memes are ideas that spread like a virus. (one example of how my husband is a geek: he told me about memes when we first met 18 years ago.) So I claim that Jaywalkers, cotton warsh-rags, Knitting Olympics, and other such ideas & practices that suddenly become very popular among knit-bloggers are just as much (if not moreso) memes as these writing prompts. Just a thought for all you folks thinking you're not meming.

See how ungeeky I am in my advancing years, I thought meme meant MeMeMeMe, as in Look At Me! :) Almost all the ones called out on blogs have blogger doing something that is all about them! Sheesh, how behind the times I am! ;)

I've always thought that it was an acronym for something. You are very right if that definition is the one that is being used though.

I thought it meant a "welcome back carter" kind of spring butt attention getter. A personal shoutout.

I find myself having to learn what the middle school bloggers/posters language means. Words I thought I knew, like "Tight, hoe, pimp, rent, ..." have new meanings.

Your turkey posts were mouth watering. I need to have a belated one, as we ate overpriced Paris cafe food on Turkey day. T
