A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Is a hand truck a very small truck?
Edit: TIL, thank you for the replies.
I’m Mexican, and for some reason we call that “diablito”. Our more civilized Spanish speakers call it “carretilla de carga”.
It's a small (often two wheeled) L shaped cart. Alternatively called a dolly.
What is this, a truck for hands?!
You telling me a hand trucked this dolly?
Only the uninformed call that a "dolly". That is a "hand-truck". A hand truck features a vertical, L-shaped design with an upright handle, two wheels, and a small bottom ledge whereas a dolly has a raised, flat platform that typically has four wheels.
Thanks for cuming to my Ted talk
Clearly it’s a ‘sack-truck’ but then UK and US are nations divided by a common language.
You lost the war, it's hand-truck brit. Next time win your own war if you want to control the names of tools lmao.
Makes no difference it’s still called what it’s called here, you can call it what you like, because you will anyway.
It is a chest-high L-shaped metal tool with wheels at the corner so you can rest a heavy object on the bottom part and then lean the tool backwards to lift the load and wheel it around.
