Post memes here.
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.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

MODERATORS
I'm choosing to take this as a really clever etymology joke
Can you explain the joke? It just comes across as an insult to me.
The joke being the word used to describe people who only speak one language is an abomination composed of both greek and latin. Definitely used as an insult, but it's a clever one.
Although I seriously doubt OOP made that choice on purpose, so the secondary joke here is how they included a massive language blunder in the same comment as they were being a snob about languages.
linguistics, but yes ;)
