Buddy, you just described what a meme is.

I used to do this but then my friends pooped in the refrigerator and ate a whole wheel of cheese.

Isn't that precisely what a meme is?

According to its technical definition, yes, a meme is an idea that transmits from person to person. According to its colloquial definition, no, when most people use the term "meme", they're referring to a screenshot. In the 2000s, though, it mostly referred specifically to image macros.
