Perhaps someone here knows – is ‘meme’ pronounced to rhyme with ‘dream’, or simply ‘me me’? It is a little navel-gazing-esque, but hopefully you will forgive that when I open up the arena to anyone who fancies joining in!
I took this from Harriet’s blog, and apparently it is quite famous as being James Lipton’s. Must confess I hadn’t heard of him, but perhaps that is not the benchmark of fame.(the picture isn’t relevant – I took it in the Lake District last Summer, and almost put running water as my favourite sound… so it’s staying!)

I’d like to know too – I’ve always just thought _mim_ (like rim or dim) when reading the word. nancy b t
I’ve always been on the meme to rhyme with dream side of the fence.
Think I might have to have a go at this meme myself. I never can resist them.
Very interesting answers — showing people round Jane Austen’s house, eh? That’s probably a first. I always say meme as in dream, but I have a sneaking suspicion it might be me me. But maybe that’s the whole point.
I feel badly for onyx that you don’t like it.
Couldn’t resist this meme though (as in dream…)
