A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

MODERATORS
German is not the same as Germanic. Both German and English evolved from a common ancestor, which we call Proto-Germanic.
'Who' and 'Where' are '*hwaz' and '*hwar' in Proto-Germanic.
I would say that in this case German strayed more than English.
Wat?
Who = hwaz = wer
Where = hwar = Wo
