How do you pronounce "meme", anyhow? Meem? Mem?

Personally, I pronounce it Meem.
Dictionary.com seems to agree with me, which I find vaguely reassuring...
meme lookup.

eek.

See, as a fan of Stargate: SG1, the 'claw-like' appendage is really close to what the symbiote things look like that take over people and make their eyes glow white and they can do cool stuff. ^_^ (Well, that and be evil. ^_^)

Creepy, otherwise. Reminds me of something else too.. but it's almost 4am.. brain not functioning properly

Hehe Kinder surprise, that's so fucking german, you know how to pronounce it?

kin (as in chin)
der (finder)
sur (as in surreal)
pri (as in spree)
se (as in geezer without the "r") :)

Kinder is actually something like "children" or "for children" and surprise is the same as surprise in english ;)

By the way you've pronounced it there, it sounds more like "Kin-dur Supreeze", we just pronounce it "Kin-dur Surprise". :)

We've had TV ads for ages, and sometimes that's the only way we know how to pronounce those products. My Mom was rasied with "Kin-dur", I never even noticed it's the same spelling as "Kind-er". :)

In germany and holland they say surpreeze ;) It sounds damn annoying ;)

Oh and usually I go for Mem, but I'm dutch and mem means tit in dutch, hahaha ;)

[seangaffney.livejournal.com]

meem.

[tamakun.livejournal.com]

mem means tit in dutch

I learned something! XD

[mindmade.livejournal.com]

mem as tit is kind of old fashioned and vulgar though, I'd go for "tiet" ;) I just say boobies, it sounds ciooter.
