Distracted Boyfriend, e.g. (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meme

(Other definitions for meme that I've seen before include "Transmitted cultural idea" , "Cultural belief that assumes a life of its own" , "Concept that spreads rapidly on the Internet" , "Often trite image" , "Cultural feature passed on by imitation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
