To ask how you pronounce "meme" as in the annoying facebook things

I not heard the word "meme" spoken much only read it. In my head it's pronounced "memay" - a bit French, like. (referring to the meaningful, insightful and inspirational phrases people post on facebook)

How do you say it? Not sure but I may have heard someone say "meem" once possibly referring to that word. I guess it could be that?
Then I thought, is that the right way and have I been a dick saying it the "French" way and have I ever embarrassed myself by saying it out loud?
