It doesn't seem possible to me that a meme could just appear and be
communicated without having been thought of first. Or do you just refuse to
call such thoughts memes? That's a valid viewpoint. A word can mean
whatever you use it to mean. The only problem is that people probably won't
understand what you mean if you use it in a way thats too far off the beaten
path. If that doesn't bother you, it shoulden't bother anyone else. ;-)
