What Is A Meme?

From "Leave Britney Alone" to "Chocolate Rain," let's face it, we love these things. I know I'm not the only one here who's had that Bed Intruder "Hide your kids, hide your wife" verse stuck in my head for as long as I can remember ( "He's climbing in your windows ..." ). And I'm not even going to get into "Baby Monkey on a Pig." Richard Dawkins' definition of a meme in The Selfish Gene is “a unit of cultural transmission."
