They're called cates and doges these days [1,2]. ("Doge" is probably
pronounced "dohj," although this is a point that is in dispute.)
These names refer to a "meme," a series of silly images that have been
modified over and over and that build upon one another as part of an
ongoing inside joke. The young kids trade in them in the same spirit that
you would trade baseball cards in the past. The images are often too silly
even to be funny, but there seems to be in endless supply of them.
