I’d like to begin by saying I’m no linguist. However, I’ve come to notice that memes and expressions are pretty similar.

• Expressions are sentences (or sometimes just words) that are repeated, with their own meaning and backstory.

• Internet memes can be an image, a sentence or a behaviour that is spread through the internet.

I know it can easily be explained by the fact that cultures spread, but it’s more the repetitive nature of both that got me curious. Are they related in some way?
