I have to head off to work, can you give me a quick lowdown on this scientific meme definition?

Meme : Gene :: Culture : Species

A Dawkinsian "meme" is like an idea-unit that can take hold and thrive in the landscape of imagination, developing into culture or philosophy if it spreads widely enough.
