:D

Whoops: delayed page refresh. Uselessness beat me to the reference recognition comment.

Inconceivable!

You mean like people who say meme all the time, and don't really know what it means? Why, that would be absolutely, totally, and in all other ways, inconceivable.

Actually, 82, I thought memesta was clever! I'm absolutely in favor of madeupical words, as John says -- my issue is with the people who... how to put it? I think I must turn to the words of a man greater than I: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Widespread Misuse. Good band name. ;-)

oh, meem, of course. there is no question about that. i'm just hoping i'm not part of the "widespread misuse." :!

Dissed why, because you coined a variant? Madeupical words are encouraged. I imagine colleen will be ok with memesta, as long as it's pronounced meemsta as opposed to, say, rhyming with lunesta :-)

How do you say it?

i feel like i just got dissed.

the widespread misuse of this term on the web is probably a meme unto itself.

and pronounced, I believe, as meem. not mehm, not mimi, people: meem.

oh, so many rants, so little time...
