mimetic desire 

A phrase coined by the anthropologist Rene Girard to explain why your best friend is trying to steal your boyfriend from you.

Also known as triangulation of desire.

Mimetic desire, the desire for what somebody else has or wants, accounts for why I really want to go out with a guy that a lot of other girls find attractive.

memetics 

The study of form and function as contrapositive with respect to each other. An attempt to schematize design from form.

The study of skeumorphs (memes).

Memetics proffers the tenet that function and form are contra-functional.

Memetics isolates design from form by arguing that there is no duality that is not design.

This is the obverse of the postmodern mantra that "form follows function" and the genesis of Hypermodernism.

Mimeticide 

When a group of people people and/or a culture is wiped out, that group's meaning systems are also destroyed and this can be referred to as a "mimeticide." Alternatively, the group of people may continue to live on, but their meaning systems are forbidden by the dominant or conquering culture.

The conquest of the Americas by Europeans was a mimeticide as it wiped out uncountable indigenous groups and their meaning systems.
