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.

In English, not using "e" seems like the true struggle.
(Sentence above free of "a"s).
Fuck you.
Ah, classic rebuttal and sans a certain character! Fantastic!
Almost!
There’s an entire novel that did it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gadsby_(novel)
Several. Later Georges Perec also did
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Void
Which is a book about a world in which the letter "E" has disappeared and only one guy notices it. He tries to prove it, but of course all works of literature have been "rewritten" by reality to no longer include E. For example, Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven, is now A Blackbird - which the author includes in full, keeping the original meter and plot.
I heard about this when I was in my twenties, forgot the details, and purchased The Great Gatsby instead.
I thought I was missing something for the longest time. I guess I was.
Ahh that's the one. For some reason I thought it was from the 1880s...
I just did it.
You thought you did somthing thr didnt you? Wll sorry to burst your bubbl but numrous sentnces could b constructd without mploying th first ltter of the Nglish lxicon.
They snuck right past you
I left one in there as an exercise for the reader. I also didn't change the letter position from first to fifth :D
Rapping without the letter E
It’s not too difficult to avoid using it.
Just reminded me of this.
