I don't really get Mesh. I mean, I know how to get Mesh, but I just don't understand it. Help!

No - Mesh lets multiple Scratch programs connect: If you broadcast something, the broadcast could be received on other Scratch programs that are connected. And you can use variables from one Scratch program on a different one.

Check out the Scratch Wiki article - it explains how to connect two computers, and how you can program with it. That's where I learned it from.

oh, so it's basically a person sharing the same stuff with you, so if the person you are sharing everything with changes a variable you are sharing with him/her, you will see the change on your Scratch project too?

Yep! And like Jonathanpb said, any broadcast sent can received on the other project.
But all the variable names and things you broadcast are case-sensitive.
So if you have this script on one project:
And this on another:
...then it won't work.

Mesh is really on within your network, and it doesn't work well from one OS to another. It has only worked for me PC to PC, (Haven't tried with mac, but Linux, nope.) and it's a bit hard to program with. A while ago I made an SSBB game with mesh, but I never made attacks, though it was a good platform. (It was over the 10 mb limit, un postable.)
