    Yeet is an example of a word or idea that fits the original description of meme, though. My “issue” (using that word lightly) is the overuse of image templates in place of words

      Literally no one was talking about image templates until you brought them up, and the type that you’re referencing seem totally irrelevant to this conversation about words in academic paper titles.

        It’s extremely adjacent. The original post is not about individual words that are new to the language being used…they’re talking about quotes and references. How do those get shared nowadays? Through image templates.
