Are we just using the word "meme" to mean joke now?

"an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme" (from the Wikipedia article) seems to be a perfect fit for what's going on in this post.

Soo... "yes", we've changed the definition from "image macro" to "any joke"

The word "meme" has been around since before image macros existed
