Me gustan los memes españoles.

Also just so you guys know meme is pronounced may-may in spanish. Makes me laugh every time I hear one of my friends say it in spanish.

I've never thought about that, but that's hilarious.

Why do y'all anglophones enjoy making language more complicated than it needs to be? Does it bring you joy to provoke suffering to the world?

Nah, it just distracts from the self-loathing.

I heard a dude pronounce meme 'mee mee' once like 10 years ago, and that created a core memory for me for some reason.
