    All your base?

    My kid definitely uses it.

    Actually the oldest I know of might be “23 skidoo” or maybe the word “O.K.”, but not sure if those qualify as memes. Although if “6 7” qualifies, then they do too.

      Much like how viruses are not technically living, because they lack the internal depth to have their own metabolism and must parasitize other life to spread, ‘67’ has no meaning, and must parasitize the cognitive abilities of its hosts to spread. It is not a meme. It is a memetic virus.

      Those who catch it and refuse to cover their mouths and stop the spread need to be quarantined.
