Meh, too many letters, I like mine better.
I also like ABBA so what does that tell you?
In all seriousness though. When I first heard Dawkin's meme theory, I scoffed at it, but I accept it now, BUT even with that, I really do think he merely came up with a new word for "marketing".
Ideas do spread physically, be they good ideas or flat out crap. Marketing sells everything, products, economic theory, political parties and religions.
It requires physical action to verbalize it or type it and put it out in any form of communication. That requires the viewer/listener to use their senses in sight and hearing and even with the blind, touch. That in turn creates new neurological pathways that retain the input, even if what you are reading/viewing/hearing is completely false.
So say it with me folkes HOMOCENTRIC is bullshit!
If it catches on, I'll be signing autographs say, a week from NEVER!

I said to myself "Brain, do you think they will like your Katherine Hepburn impression?"
