Posted January 12, 2007 I invented a new abreviation. Im spreading it, hopefully you will use it and make it famous. Its kinda the oppsoite of "FTW" CSMB = Can suck my balls. E.g. "People who do wrongful things to animals CSMB" Or "Racist people CSMB" Cool? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2007 IRttT, I think FTW is way overused, but CSMB is much better than FTL. edit: fixed typo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 12, 2007 This is not the place to go making up memes. It really isn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2007 Trying to force memes rarely works, but good luck I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2007 By the way, out of interest, do most internet geeks etc. who use the term meme know who invented it and for what purpose? I always wonder what he thinks (if he knows) of the way it's used now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2007 By the way, out of interest, do most internet geeks etc. who use the term meme know who invented it and for what purpose? I always wonder what he thinks (if he knows) of the way it's used now. I first heard the word meme used by the genius himself, Hideo Kojima. I am almost certain most webfolk use it on that basis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2007 I first heard the word meme used by the genius himself, Hideo Kojima. I am almost certain most webfolk use it on that basis It comes from Richard Dawkins, the famous atheist zoologist from Oxford. He used it in The Selfish Gene to describe Religion... But this use of the word is right. He'd probably approve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was talking some crap about MGS theme being Gene, the MGS2 theme being Meme and the MGS3 theme being Scene, I think that's right. What a load of crap...

What a load of crap... You have lost a month of your life now But yeah, Gene was about passing information through DNA: Big Boss - Solid, Solidus, Liquid etc etc Meme: Passing information digitally, wall paintings > books > da intanet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 12, 2007 Meme: Passing information digitally, wall paintings > books > da intanet Yeah, that kind of it. "A unit of cultural information transferable from one mind to another." Of course the internet, or 4chan or whatever can act as the culture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 12, 2007 Yeah, that kind of it. "A unit of cultural information transferable from one mind to another." Of course the internet, or 4chan or whatever can act as the culture. Yeah, 4chan has hugely contributed to a lot of the memes we see today e.g orly owl, pedobear. Fact is, the site 4chan is a meme in itself, because its derived from 2ch. Its one big fat family tree.
