Meme: an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture. In LJ, it's any sort of little quiz (either with radio-buttons and picture-laden results, or a hundred-gajillion questions about whether you prefer summer over winter, or any variation thereof) that gets passed around. If you're kind, you cut your memes so the folks on your friends-list don't have to scroll through all gajillion questions if they'd rather read later/not-at-all.
You can create your own icons (the LJ FAQ has info on how to upload them) or ask someone to make them for you. How many you can choose from (most folks use them to depict their mood at any given time) depends on how much money you give LJ for your account.
...and tagging is as in, tag, you're it! Some memes (also called "lemmings" and "herpes") have as part of them that you name X people who you want to do the thing next -- "tagging" them.
