    That's a lousy defintion to be blunt.

    A better defintion would be,

    "An idea or information pattern does not become a meme until the idea or
    information pattern is replicated or redistributed by another indvidiual to
    a third party."

    .....

    It's slightly easier to follow at least I guess >=O)
