A meme is 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.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Dunno about German but in french dogs are male or female depending on their actual gender (obviously the female word has been adopted as a slur towards women, to be fair sometimes the masculine also is used that way for men).
German has both genders for dogs, but since the variants look (and sound) slightly different, it's not instantly obvious:
Der Hund - a male dog
Die Hündin - a female dog
The male word is also used as slur for men in Québec. It's usually accompanied by copious religious profanity and a few tasteful adjectives.
