My folks also do something similar. I'd bet most lemmy/[colour name]dit users of miscellanious languages also have their own form of me+me (I+I). Spanish speakers, is it 'yoyo' or just 'meme'?

In polish that would be "jaja" when means "balls" (as in testicles) so no polish people don't really do that

That's interesting, considering that the origin of the term "meme" refers to one of two ways people pass down information - culturally (through memes) and genetically (through DNA reproduction.)

Testicles are too busy working on genetic transmission. They don't need to be tasked with memeing as well.
