extranet meme

(Or outernet meme) A meme that gained popularity by distribution outside the internet.

The word "extranet" is a retronym - a word used to describe an object or entity that has been superseded by a new kind of thing, where the original object or entity was not previously described using the new word.

Examples: email and snail mail (snail mail being the retronym for ordinary "mail"); quantum mechanics and classical mechanics (before the discovery of quantum mechanics the way matter interacts on the superatomic scale was simply "mechanics"); and finally, internet meme and extranet meme.
Examples of popular extranet memes:

Introverted extrovert

There's no such thing as an introverted extrovert. A person who describes himself/herself as an introverted extrovert does so to keep people who don't know he/she is really an introvert from knowing that he/she is not the extrovert some people think he/she is.
Lindsay had found empowerment in convincing people around her she was an open extrovert since she was young, though she had always been an introvert. She would describe herself to other people as an introverted extrovert to keep from losing people who remained close to her that thought she was really an extrovert, since she couldn't handle being alone. She even pretended to be there for other people her entire life for the same reason, she couldn't handle being alone. It never really mattered to her how much damage was done to other people's lives, as long as she didn't end up alone herself, everything would be okay in her mind.

Extrovert

Not a knob, dickhead or wanker as the other posters would have you suggest. Someone who introverts wish they could be, someone outgoing, friendly, unpretentious. No matter how hard introverts try to seem interesting, it is the extrovert who is much more interesting.
