1. Ooh, cool - the "I don't know what a meme is" meme!
That one's all over the place.

:P

Sorry for the snarkiness - it was a joke too rich to pass up.

Check out wikipedia - their entry is pretty good:

6. Yuk - that is a dumb word.
I think I'll go back to my state of unknowing - if I can forget it.

2. I think it's anything that's supposed to stick in somebody's memory
Most likely a sound bite or phrase.

9. I was an expert at wasting the last ten minutes.
Trip to the loo to clean a sink or two (even tho the janitor did that), cruise the lunch room looking for something I lost but can't remember what, clean out my desk drawer...again, and on and on.
