Carrying cars and burning coffee: a Korean dialect meme

In this joke cars are carried, not driven, and coffee is burned rather than mixed. A strange verb turns an ordinary line into a cartoon scene.

At 10:42 p.m. KST on Oct. 24, a Theqoo post shared a meme chart: 'car → carry it,' 'coffee → burn and drink,' 'poop → hit it' and 'sleep → comes.' The reposting writer added phrases about entering or leaving highways, teeth and things going badly.

The joke pretends to be a dialect guide but makes verbs vividly literal. Readers can picture someone actually carrying a car—the absurd gap is the humor.

Two observable layers make up this humor: the original image's exaggerated verbs and the reposter's extra examples. The page displays 349 comments but not their contents, so no claim of regional agreement is possible.

Real dialect varies by speaker, city and generation. Comic exaggeration is not evidence of actual linguistic frequency.
