Meem, just as any normal human being does. Although IIRC it comes from the French word même, which is pronounced mem, so maybe we're all just anglicizing jerks.

Meem. If you pronounce it a different way (muh dank MAYMAYS), you're a waste of oxygen

sometimes I actually ironically say maymay. Pronouncing meme as maymay has become a meme in some places.

Meem, but sometimes I say mem-ay, because I had a friend named Meme (mem-ay) and it makes me chuckle.

Yeah? That's certainly why I would have always pronounced it something like 'may-may'.

Ironically it would be because spontaneously I did cast it as the other French word, mémé.



F**k, it's almost impossible to find some 'mémé' pics on google when u type it, u only have to deal with annoying 'memes'.
