A survey or chain letter or pass-me-on or whatever this is has no relation to the word. In order to not look silly or foolish, you should research terms before using them.

All your base are belong to us and LOLcats are memes, ‘list 7 weird things about yourself’ is a survey at best, and a piece of unsolicited spam chainmail at worst. Also, a meme can’t be ‘invented,’ a meme just happens. In addition, as this is about the 20th blog I’ve posted this comment to, it really makes me sad to know that people are such blindly-following, unthinking automatons that they readily repeat things as fact without so much as an inkling of skepticism.[/quote]Oh shame! Unfortunately not everyone researches everything, myself included. This post will be edited as it is in fact not a meme. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Locke wrote:
