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.

I think non-musicians can tell a cello from a violin and a tuba from a trumpet.
Exactly. This is not a musician vs a non musician, but a musician vs a 5 years old.
I wish it was that way. I've seen a 20 year old get brass instruments mixed up. Many reference squidward when talking about clarinet, oboe, English horn, and bass clarinet. Unfortunately it isn't just musician vs a 5 year old.
I've had multiple people call my baritone saxophone a trumpet... It's funny and sad everytime
The amount of times people have called my trumpet a saxophone, or my trombone a saxophone, or my clarinet a saxophone, or my melodica a saxophone, or my saxophone a saxophone apauls me.
Never call someone a saxophone; not only is it rude, it's a slur and against the law.
Appalls. Unless I've missed a new slang word for getting into drag.
Soundwise or visually? I can see the difference (big vs little) but I don't think I could reliably pick out the sound between the two.
I was thinking visually. But even sound-wise I don't think most people would hear a cello and think that's a violin (even if they don't know it's a cello). But I've listened to a lot of Apocalyptica and 2Cellos, and I also grew up on cartoons that feature tubas frequently for comedic effect, so maybe I'm just biased.
I found this video and I really wouldn't be able to tell if it was just sound. I think I have like 2 categories I can reliably do for strings: bow or not.
But can they tell a violin from a fiddle?
It's all in how ya hold it!
The difference is the bridge. Fiddle has a flatter bridge to make it easier to hit all four strings at once. Violin has a curved bridge to make it difficult to hit multiple strings at once.
They're only fiddles if you want to play in a band in Texas
Or an Irish band. Or a maritime Canadian band. Or a folk band.
or on the roof
You are magnificent.
