You made me look up the origin of the word meme
"When you plant a fertile meme in my mind you literally parasitize my brain, turning it into a vehicle for the meme's propagation in just the way that a virus may parasitize the genetic mechanism of a host cell." Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene, 1976
