"Meem." Just looked it up on m-w.com to confirm. "meem."

My math teacher (b/c memes are a mathematical phenomon) pronounced it "maim" as in... "I'll maim you bitch if you look at me sideways!"

But people have been saying "meem"... ^^;; I've never heard that, could this pronounciation be a regional thing?

How do you pronounce Meme is like saying how do you pronounce OBSSE. It's regional I think. I learned it Meem in Chicago.
