So I said "may-may" in the car earlier and my friend laughed at me. I felt really bad about it. Is that wrong? How do YOU pronounce 'meme'?

it's a term coined by the bigot Richard Dawkins in his 1976 work "The Selfish Gene" in which he compared the spread of genes to the spread of ideas. e.g. strong ones gain acceptance, weak ones are filtered out.

It's pronounced like gene.
