Yeah "ikiks" wouldn't really work haha. "Mijmijs"? Idk at R*ddit people used "meems" in the Dutchs communities. Sounds logical to me, it's a Dutch sounding word that believably could be "meme" in english. Just like "name" is "naam" in Dutch.

Ambachtelijke memerijen. Echt handwerk.

Mijmijs is not too bad

And using "MeMes" ("me", "mij", "mijn") isn't funny enough.

The official accepted in the Dutch community is memerijen, liberally translated at memeries

I can live with that haha. Memerijen sounds like the more formal word. But it's also silly so it's okay
