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.

- 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

how did you describe it?
Tactfully
I think I described it as "a word that means how you approach a sensitive subject"
I admit my description was shit but at the time I couldn't remember the exact definition of tact either lmao. I just remembered it was used to describe how you should approach sensitive subjects.
In any case I remember trying to google it as well but nothing coming up. My friends did not think of the word. I mean it's definitely not a word you would use often so I don't blame them.
I remember I asked chatgpt and chatgpt nailed it.
