I just want to know… is meme pronounced Meem or Meh-Meh…

It's pronounced meem. Just like how gene is pronounced jean.

As above mentioned, it's meem. From wikipedia: "To emphasize commonality with genes, Dawkins coined the term "meme" by shortening "mimeme", which derives from the Greek word mimema ("something imitated"). Dawkins, who coined the phrase and claims he didn't know about mneme, said he wanted “a monosyllable word that sounds a bit like gene”."
