2. A term used in mmo meaning the Most Effective Tactic Available. It's basically what works in a game regardless of what you wish would work.
1. There's a lot of bad examples here, so I'll fix those.

Making a movie about the film industry isn't meta. Making a movie about making movies is.

Using a footnote to explain another footnote isn't meta. Using a footnote to explain what footnotes are is meta.

Metaphysics, probably the most common use of meta, means that instead of talking about the physics of the real world, you're talking about the physics itself (for example, why should there even be gravity).

Meta-meme is a meme which transcends all other memes. It's ironic in content as well as form. At first it usually doesn't make much sense, but that's only because it's memeing itself. Once you understand its memetics, you understand the whole meme culture.
Usually very distorted, misspellt and shiny, a meta-meme combines elements of different mostly ironic or pre-ironic memes.
"Why is the minion saying 'Hey Beter'?"
"It's a meta-meme, you dip."

Mamasse Mamuhsa Memaht Husah 

Mamasse = my body
Mamuhsa = my spirit
Memaht = my thoughts
Husah = are pure.

It's a mantra meant to be said over and over again to remind yourself that in adversity you can rise above which is too high to get over and dig deeper than which is too low to get under.

It's also good to use this mantra when you believe you may do something you'll regret later.
Example 1

guy 1: Ohh man look at that fine piece of work. I would wear that out in a heartbeat.

guy 2: Funny you mention that because I heard she was actually asking about you the other day. Should I tell her you're married?

guy 1: Mamasse Mamuhsa Memaht Husah - woo. Tell her I'm off the market.

Example 2:

Guy 1: I have 3 projects all going on at once my kid's in trouble at school my wife says we don't spend enough quality time and my boss is breathing down my neck.

Wooo. Mamasse Mamuhsa Memaht Husah. Woo Hoo. I can do this. Nothing is impossible. God will not give me more than I can bear. Thanks Michael.
"Meta" describes a reference made in fiction, where the work reaches outside the narrative and addresses the audience directly or demonstrates awareness of itself as a work of fiction. This is best explained as when a character "breaks the fourth wall", for instance by looking directly at the camera and commenting about the movie or show they are in.
In the TV show Community the character Abed often makes meta references by referring to himself and the other characters as being in a TV show. In response to this, one of them once commented "Abed, it makes the group uncomfortable when you talk about us like we're characters on a show you're watching."

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.
I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
