@K1l, that's not the point, the point is that we, as a generation (spanning of course anyone who is currently alive and using the internet) have a shared context of all these memes, but eventually, as memes go on or evolve, the context of old ones may be lost. Hence calling them "hieroglyphic". They still have meaning to anyone who learns the context, but unlike words they don't have a universal meaning

@Empshok, there's this book about a French man and his two wives. One main lack of cultural understanding is that unlike in America which is clearly a patriarchy with male privledge, if in France a man and a woman divorce the man retains ownership of everything and the woman is left with nothing- so basically the married woman has no choice but to put up with a man cheating if she married him. This is also why French girls tend to try to escape France and pretty much tried to be taken here to America during WWII. Damn these other countries and how better they are in male-female equality.
