If you mean references to real-world memes:
This is a retribution field generator. It absorbs the kinetic energy of incoming projectiles and then releases that energy as a concentrated blast of light and concussive force back at the attacker. Humans call them Shoop da whoop cubes.
If you mean references to the craft of worldbuilding within one's worldbuilding, I have this story.
If you mean in-universe memes: There is a persistent rumor among yinrih that humans enjoy drinking yinrih ink (the blue-black musk excreted from their writing claws). This is not true, we just enjoy the fact it smells like rain.
On the human side, yinrih are basically space doggos, so the memes write themselves.
