The meme to speak about speaking in memes would be to mention: Star Trek, the Darmok episode. Temba, his arms wide.

Shaka, when the walls fell!
I watched that episode in the last year and didn't make the meme connection until I was reading someone mention it somewhere. It would be interesting to have a modern take on that episode. The thing with memes is they don't necessarily convey an idea or a point that furthers a discussion. They're often just a way to relate something in the current context with a past idea (for a laugh), so it almost seems that a language based on memes would just end up stagnating culture.

That doesn’t bother me at all, because I never heard of it!
Maybe I should start participating in Star Trek discussions!

The episode involves a species that talks by referencing stories by title. It cant be translated without knowing the stories.
