Last time I shared a hotel room with a coworker, they said I make "puppy noises" while asleep. No idea what it was, my wife also doesn't know what they meant.

When my dogs are asleep and clearly dreaming they'll make little noises and twitches like they're running and barking in the dream and little bits of it make it to the surface

Company trying to be cool by occasionally gathering employees on touristic destinations instead of an office. Employees really love it, as it's just like a vacation if you just ignore that you can't pick your own accommodations, or when/what to have breakfast, lunch or dinner, or that every "leisure" activity has specific start and end times and is mandatory, or the fact that everyone is still expected to work too.

I like to think that this person just walks around the office all day, asking everyone how their day is going.

Are we just using the word "meme" to mean joke now?

"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" (from the Wikipedia article) seems to be a perfect fit for what's going on in this post.

Soo... "yes", we've changed the definition from "image macro" to "any joke"

Memes and image macro were never synonyms. Image macros are memes, but that doesn’t mean all memes are image macros.

Memes are much older than image macros. And this here is a textbook example.

Loss is a meme. Rickrolling is a meme. The Game (which you just lost) is a meme.

An image macro is a subset of meme, not the superset.

Lol, the word "meme" was introduced as a parallel to gene and religion was provided as an example of a very strong meme. At one point the word started to be used for memes that spread over the internet, and since most of those were image macros, a lot people came to believe that meme means "image macro".

But jokes are a wonderful example of meme. There are jokes that have been going around since ancient times, some with almost no alterations.

You need to learn how to use a dictionary. I would recommend starting with the word “etymology”.

A meme is any self replicating thought that spreads from carrier to carrier.

Notable examples include: language, stories, culture, fax machine jokes, and image macros
