From Encyclopedia Dramatica

An IRL meme is similar to a meme on the internets execept it is IRL. Due to the fact that IRL memes cannot be transmitted by anything more advanced than the old media, they tend to stay within one local group. Much like memes are in-jokes with the entire internet, IRL memes are in-jokes with a smaller social group.

[edit] Examples of popular IRL memes

• Disco
• Final Fantasy VII
• Racism
• Religion
• Yoyos
• Sex
• Gay Robot Convention

[edit] Transition memes

Sometimes old memes on the internet can become IRL memes among geeks, or vice-versa.

Some memes that have entered the real world include:

• All your base are belong to us
• Numa numa
• Goatse

Some memes that have come to the internets from the real world:

• God
• Dividing by zero
• Stfu glasses
• Tubgirl (once performed a broadway musical)

[edit] WTF does that mean?

Most IRL memes mean nothing to people who aren't involved, such as:

• Cats in the kitchen
• MY NAME IS DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
• 8E
• Why? (Level?)
