That's wrong! There are only three bilabial letters! P, M, and B. F and V are labiodental

That's labial velar approximate. We don't say "bwatermelon" just because the letter is pronounced with a B

You're right about how you would refer to each sound in use but the meme doesn't say that there are 4 bilabials

What? Can you say the word double without your lips touching? I can’t
