The memes that are posted on this forum are a specific type of internet meme called image macros. More explanation:

An example of a meme (in a non-image macro sense) is the whole degreaser thing (redeye58's use of degreaser to clean up blood stains) that is often referenced in this forum. Because of its repeated mention and the fact that the active posters here get it, it has become a meme within The Break Room. Note: This is a small-scale meme, as it is only understood on this forum. Memes such as Scumbag Steve, Y U No, and The Most Interesting Man in the World are recognized across the internet.

For the longest time, I would pronounce it "me-me" instead of "meem." Please comfort me in saying that I'm not the only one.

It's from the commercials for Dos Equis beer. They're pretty funny in their own right. You should look them up on YouTube.

According to Wiki it is pronounced as "MEEM"

No matter how you say it it sounds very odd.....thankfully you don't have to say it as much as you write it!
