Words That Only Exist in the Hebrew Language
Davka (Dav-ka)
With Yiddish and Aramaic roots, the meaning of this words shifts from sentence to sentence and has no direct English translation. It can be used to mark a paradox, for example: ‘Despite hating cakes, I davka love this one’, or as a spiteful action, something that is done maliciously on purpose: ‘He did this davka to hurt me’. Another common use is to say, precisely: ‘why davka today?’
Tachles (Ta-chles)
Tachles is an Israeli slang word that comes from a Yiddish variation of the Hebrew word for essence or purpose – tachlit. Tachles is usually used to ask for directness or to ‘get to the point’, for example: ‘Tachles, I really don’t want to go out tonight’. It is also often used to agree with someone (usually on a somewhat provocative statement). If someone says to you: ‘I don’t understand a word she said,’ you can agree with Tachles.

First Internet meme
It was super boring, so here is a "meme"
Memes existed before the internet
Definition
Human interaction
Memes are essentially ideas
-They can't be objects
-Making fire is essentially a meme
-Memes can be passed without language, but they must be learned, not innate
- an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.
- a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

Richard Dawkins came up with it in 1976
-Evolutionary Biologist and English ethologist
“All life evolves by the differential survival of replicating entities.” Wherever there is life, there must be replicators. Perhaps on other worlds replicators could arise in a silicon-based chemistry—or in no chemistry at all.
What would it mean for a replicator to exist without chemistry? “I think that a new kind of replicator has recently emerged on this very planet,”
“It is staring us in the face. It is still in its infancy, still drifting clumsily about in its primeval soup, but already it is achieving evolutionary change at a rate that leaves the old gene panting far behind.” That “soup” is human culture; the vector of transmission is language, and the spawning ground is the brain.
Rules of Memes
Message: There needs to be a clearly definable, central message or reference that's understood, and relatable by commonly shared knowledge or experience.
Evolution: The meme cannot remain static
Malleability: It must aid in its own evolution by having defined characteristics that can be changed while maintaining and preserving some semblance of the original message.
Effect: It has to reach a certain level of popularity and understanding.
