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.

I have professional contact with a guy named Richard Butt. not what he goes by, I'm assuming that's his full name though.
I'm not joking. I still can't get over it. the shit that guy must have had to deal with
Yeah it must really suck to be the Butt of every joke
It was Joost de Tip
Usually, people outside the anglosphere don't think about how an American is going to read their name or if they're going to find it funny.
I assume it goes both ways - i.e. there are other countries who laugh at some American names due to how they sound in their local language. It's just human nature - whether it's just for the humor, or to ridicule & act condescending will depend upon the individuals involved.
I'm SO disappointed in myself for laughing so much at this.
Same here. Trying to resist the urge to share it in my group chats

Yes. Actually the founder of the SEO plugin by that name was a classmate of mine, and named it thusly because he was tired of explaining his name.
Maybe I'm getting old, but given the choice, at this point I'd choose neck and/or shoulders.
Don't get me wrong, I'd be happy with whatever, but given the choice, I'd say relief over release.
Who this is so funny
