I think it would be great either to add to the existing pinned thread or have a second pinned thread be a compendium of well-sourced documentation of these memes.

I'm sorry I couldn't guess that's the kind of thing you had in mind. I appreciate wanting to solicit other ideas, but I think it's clearer to everyone else just to be specific about what you think might be useful. I don't think anyone here would be shy about suggesting alternatives.
