Memefication is the conscious design of meme for delivering information through effective, contagious messages.
What are Stonks in the stock market?
The word "stonks" is the intentional misspelling of the word “stocks” and is often used when poking fun at a particular stock or the stock market in general. As the result of a 2017 internet meme, stonks rose to popularity in early 2021 amid the surge of GameStop's stock at the hands of Reddit users.

Lesson 7/10 60min
Halloween according to Wikipedia:
Halloween is a celebration on the night of October 31. It is most practised in the United States and Canada. Children wear costumes and go to people's homes saying "Trick or treat!" to ask for candy (sweets in the UK) and people give it to them. The suggestion is: "Give me a treat or I will play a trick on you." People mainly dress up as ghosts, witches, or other scary things for Halloween. It is often referred to as ‘the scariest time of the year’.
For Christians it is the eve of All Saints' Day, which begins the three-day observance of Allhallowtide. This covers the three days – October 31 (All-Hallows Eve or Hallowe'en), November 1 (All Saints) and November 2 (All Souls). All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized feast influenced by Celtic harvest festivals, and pagan roots.[1]
