| Indefinite pronoun | |||
| Même as an indefinite pronoun means the same. | |||
| C’est le même. | It’s the same. | ||
| Elles sont toujours les mêmes. | They’re always the same. | ||
So a Meme is something that is the same and goes around bloggy world.
| Before the noun, même means same: | |||
| C’est la même chose ! | It’s the same thing! | ||
| J’ai lu le même livre. | I read the same book. | ||
| Il aime les mêmes programmes. | He likes the same programs | ||
So for all y’all out there who were wondering what the heck meme means I hope this clarifies. I have the lovely Katie B. to thank for setting me on the right track for this word. And here’s a treat for reading this…

Until Katie mentioned it, I thought it was a made up word meaning Me, Me!! A bunch of stuff about me…. 🙂
That Katie bug! She’s a smart cookie!
You forgot one thing in your post – how do you pronounce the darn word!
Nice treat – I love the way you took the pic!
Oui, c’est ca!
It is pronounced with a short e sound: similar to ‘men’ only with an “m” on the end instead of an “n”
I was wondering what that word was all about…thanks, Katie! 🙂
SO glad you’re feeling better! Missed you on Tuesday but looking forward to tea today!
OOOH pretty flower photo.
.. snicker .. .I thought that it meant .. .all about me. . .
Thanks for the clarification!!
I love the flower!
And now I get to tell Beau his definition is wrong. He told me it meant mini theme.
Beautiful flower! Really nice shot.
What a beautiful flower….you took the picture so well. I would like to learn how to do that!! Is that a close up of a petunia? A very special petunia?
Thanks for checking in on me! I have been rewriting my entry. It seems I must mess with it several times before I like it and it gets posted before I’m not quite done.
Wedding flowers make me happy inside….and happy to share with others!!
It’s a geranuim…right?
I found this while you were suggesting Hibiscus….
look at the stamen and pistal. And, now I will let it be whatever it is! :)) It is beautiful!!

I was tagged to do a meme the day you posted this. It helps to know what meme actually means, strangely. 🙂
I LOVE the flower picture- just beautiful ! Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, re: my Russian roots. Mom was Byelo-Russian, and a DP in Germany when dad was stationed there, looking for an Orthodox church. Dad’s dad came over as a teenager, right before the Revolution w/ a brother and an Orthodox priest, for religious freedom. One of my earlier posts has info about my background. We were raised bi-lingually, and all dabble in 3+ languages. Le fleur et magnifique!
