What is the difference between memes and ideas?
I was wondering what the difference between these terms, or if they are two words for the same thing. Though I am fairly certain there is a difference, albeit a slight one.

meme -- an idea or element of social behaviour passed on through generations in a culture, esp by imitation
idea -- any conception existing in the mind as a result of mental understanding, awareness, or activity.
Ideas are completely your own, memes are more like a mimic but more evolved.
