Ever find that sometimes when you’re talking with friends or co-workers that a certain word keeps getting repeated over and over again? Maybe it’s a flashy one or just a really useful one, but it just keeps making the rounds in e-mails or chit-chat? Well, you’re not alone – the media also loves to reuse and recycle (not so much reduce). Welcome to Mediaite’s Meme Watch, a compilation of the media’s most talked-about words… literally.

This week on Meme Watch: the many medications that were in MJ’s system when he died. Anchors have spent the last few days with psychiatrists and doctors on their shows helping them pronounce the tongue-twisting names Lorazepam, Midzolam, and of course, the “world-famous” “bazooka of sleep medications” Propofol!

Yes, I totally know what you mean by certain words that keep getting repeated over and over again. (Except I never say “repeated over and over again” because it’s obviously redundant.) The word I hear repeated is “meme”, I fucking hate that word. It has become an “insta-douche” like goatees, white Ray Bans, and Ed Hardy shirts the word “meme” creates a rebuttable presumption the person using the word is a douche-bag. The current meme — – meme isn’t even close to an accurate use of the word meme.
