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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

How can english-speaking people say "CRUcifix" or "CREscent" but can't say "CROAsan" ? (the final 't' of "croissant" is mute. So is the final "t" in "Bon appétit")
Totally different R sound in English crucifix and French croissant.
It's still better than "Qwasant"
God yes. Especially with an accent that makes the -ant into two syllables.
shudders
even the french will often ellide the ⟨ʁ⟩ to ⟨ʁ̞⟩ or even [χ], [ʀ], or [r]. Granted none of those are lip-rounded, but I wouldn't give a Japanese speaker a hard time over /L/ pronunciation either.
I agree. Depending on your first language, it can be hard to learn how to make specific sounds in another.
