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.

Not all of them do. I work with autistic kids, and sometimes we have to modify how we teach echoics (repeating what someone else said) because of it.
We may have a kid that we're trying to teach to ask for help when they need it. So say, for example, we see them unable to open their lunch box. For some kids, we'd go, "Say, 'help'." The kid replies, "Help," and we help them open the box.
But some kids will repeat exactly what we say, which means they end up going, "Say help." So we have to change the way we make the suggestion. In this case we'd omit the "say" part, and just say "Help." That way the kid will repeat just the important part, enabling them to communicate more functionally to get their needs met.
