It comes from the ancient greek μιμεῖσθαι, to imitate. That word is also root for other English words like mimic and mime.

puh-leeze, get the spelling right.

Yes, I did indeed bastardize the original bastardization. I'm looking for the description of the picture accompaniment of the original meme, however.
