About Fetish Meme

Fetish has many meanings. It isn’t a word that draws out my purism. Here it means something like:

A sexual fixation(s) that usually differs from those of the standard population. In other words, something (sometimes totally unrelated to sex) that turns you on and that isn’t enjoyed by the majority of people.

Urban Dictionary

Little could Richard Dawkins know how successful his coinage would become.

meme (a cultural unit (an idea or value or pattern of behavior) that is passed from one person to another by non-genetic means (as by imitation)) “memes are the cultural counterpart of genes”

WordNet

in blogspeak, an idea that is spread from blog to blog

Urban Dictionary

I did something similar to Fetish Meme on another site. I was surprised that people responded to those entries more than to others. Hence a site devoted to them. (Besides I bought the domain name and wanted to do something with it.) Whether the term meme fits or not I’ll leave for others to judge.

The entries here are meant to be neutral and brief. Neutrality has already proven harder than I expected. I’ll do my best. Brevity is a challenge for someone as digressive prone as myself. Again, I’ll try.

If there’s a topic you’d like to see covered leave a comment on this message. Indeed you are welcome to write an entire entry for me to publish.

Feedback, as they say, is always welcome.
