Not an Apple fanboy. Read here if you're interested.

meme /mim/

–noun
a cultural item that is transmitted by repetition in a manner analogous to the biological transmission of genes.
Origin: 1976; < Gk mīmeîsthai to imitate, copy; coined by R. Dawkins, Brit. biologist

Please try not to be intentionally ignorant, it's unbecoming.

BTW, I -do- heartily agree with you about Objective-C being pretty damn stupid.

Meme, as a concept with any scientific validity, is roughly as idiotic as the phlogisten theory of combustion. Except it doesn't even have the excuse that it was theorized in the 17th century. There are actual words you should consider that convey actually valid concepts: cliche and nostrum for example. Nothing personal, but anyone using the word "meme" is stamping himself as an intellectual lightweight, and a poseur, plain and simple.
