A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

French pronunciation works by geological principles: over the years, what looks like an intricate arrangement of vowels and consonants gets eroded and folded down to what’s essentially a nuanced grunt.
Sounds like Australian. Or strayn, as I would say to a fellow denizen of this beloved wonderhell.
I think you actually just described Danish.
Why pronounce a consonant when you just can swallow it and use a glottal stop instead?
"A g å a ø i a å" is a proper sentence where I come from.
It means: A goat on an island in a river.
Where is this and how would you pronounce the "g"?
Also, you made me think about a story about a shop in a southern Norwegian city, where the owner put up a sign around lunch time: "e æ a å eder" (I am off to eat), the shop owner across the street saw it and made his own sign saying "e æ a e å" (I am off as well (lit. I am off I also))
It's North Jutland. The g is pronounced as "ge" almost like German "geh".
I'm not native, and even after 15 years I sometimes still don't understand the local dialect.
The Norwegian Kamelåså joke about Danish is funny because its true.
That's just called language
