it refers to a "Happy Days" episode in which the Fonz is water skiing and jumps over a shark. Seen as the episode that was the final straw in a show that was going downward. So it has come to refer to the incident that can be pointed to as the noticible turning point toward eventual failure.

3. When "meme" went out of vogue. |

I think that's accurate enough.

7. I must have missed that |

I saw a couple of discussions about the "meme" thing and I still don't really get what it is about. I didn't see a lot of meme's though.
