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.

English is such a poor language that they only have the article The and nouns without genders.
Seethe and cope.
My native language doesn't have any articles and there is no distinction between he and she.
May I ask what language that may be?
It's Persian.
I've noticed a lot of gendered words seemingly have roots in Arabic: the words for paternal uncle, paternal aunt, maternal aunt, and maternal uncle for example. I guess the neutrality is something that survived of our ancient culture.
The history (of Persia and the language) is deeply fascinating, but also confusing, and at times you'll come across a lot of contradictions. There are so many lies and different perspectives. I regret my ignorance when it comes to this topic.
Thanks (:
Japanese?
Nope. It's Persian (also known as Farsi, or Parsi).
Persian's roots are actually closer to English than Arabic: Persian is an Indo-European language, same as English, while Arabic is a Semitic language.
How progressive.
