It doesn't happen very often (I've never seen it personally)
but last Saturday's Guardian - the "Editor" section - had
mention of the word meme, in a matter of fact way, used just
as a normal word, with no explanations or apologies. It even
used the word metameme (although this word is not in the
shorter OED). Admittedly, the Editor is not the Guardian
proper, just a collection of other media; the original
publication is a Canadian magazine called "Adbusters" and
the article was written by Kalle Lasn.
