Part 1. What is Meme Short for and the Top 9 Funny Meme Websites in 2022
You might be thinking what is 'meme' short for? 'Meme' is a shortening of 'modeled on gene'. The term was coined by biologist Richard Dawkins in the year 1976 when he blended the Greek word 'mimeme' with the English word 'gene'. The word was first used in his book 'The Selfish Gene' and according to the author 'meme' simply meant an 'idea'.
Now let's explore the 9 best meme websites that you can find numerous funny memes!
