Baby Trebuchet or Catapult

Text on the meme

We are selling our baby trebuchet. We only used it a couple of times. PM me for a quote. This is not a baby trebuchet. It is a baby catapult. Trebuchet has a counterweight

What it means

A social media post jokingly advertises a small antique siege engine as a “baby trebuchet,” showing a wooden catapult-like device on a wooden floor. Readers correct the terminology: it is a baby catapult, while a trebuchet uses a counterweight. The meme is used as a humorous reaction to confidently mislabeling something and being pedantically corrected.
