Okla: Lie to no one. If there 's somebody close to you, you'll ruin it with a lie. If they're a stranger, who the fuck are they you gotta lie to them?

What is a memes? Is that a new word added to the dictionary? Is it computer-speak? I haven't heard anyone use that word. I've heard of testes, but not memes. Is it part of the female anatomy? Pardon my ignorance, but if you don't ask, you will never know. No question is a dumb question (so I've been told). Well, it's being used by kids on Facebook on a daily basis. But there's always Wikipedia. Meme is "an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture." A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols or practices, which can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate and respond to selective pressures. The word meme originated with Richard Dawkins' 1976 book The Selfish Gene. Dawkins cites as inspiration the work of geneticist L. L. Cavalli-Sforza, anthropologist F. T. Cloak and ethologist J. M. Cullen. To emphasize commonality with genes, Dawkins coined the term "meme" by shortening "mimeme", which derives from the Greek word mimema ("something imitated"). He said that he wanted "a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'".
