A meme is an image or piece of text, usually humorous, that spreads quickly on the internet. In this case, the pictures he posted are memes. The reference to pugs is intended as a joke, because pugs rhymes with drugs .

It's teenagers talking and they invent all sorts of expressions.

I'm guessing "using memes" means distributing an idea that replicated like crazy.

I'm on pugs. = I am addicted to this breed of dog. I love them very much.
