What's the correct pronunciation of 'meme'?.I've never heard anyone say it out loud.Is it :
'mi-mi',like the girl's name.
Meem (long e sound)
Mem-ee (short e in 1st syllable,long e in 2nd syllable) or
Mem (silent e at the end)
I don't want to embarrass myself at the next cocktail party I attend.

Thanks ET, not exactly a word that comes up often in casual conversation, not to mention there's 4 possible pronunciations.

From the first post in this thread
"Toss your stupid political beliefs aside and try to have fun with it."
It pays to read the instruction manual first.
