That's wrong! There are only three bilabial letters! P, M, and B. F and V are labiodental
W
That's labial velar approximate. We don't say "bwatermelon" just because the letter is pronounced with a B
What? Can you say the word double without your lips touching? I can’t

What about W?
your lips dont touch for w
They do in American English at least
edit: I realize now you're talking about its use within words, but a lot of us here assume that the meme is referring to saying each letter individually.

B M P W
I feel like double u is cheating since that's just b again.
I'd argue 'f' they don't press hard but they lightly touch
Bro what are you doing with your lips? "F" is top teeth on lower lip.
What the pfuck are you pfrattling on about?

W still leaves an opening tho
They're probably pronouncing it as "Double-U"...
well it only touches at the B sound and we already had B so...
How else is it pronounced?
as a phoneme, it's a bilabial approximant - meaning the lips form the sound by moving close but not touching and then parting again
compare to the palatal approixmant /y/ formed by the root of the tongue performing a similar action with the soft palate.

Pronouncing the letter, or saying the letter's name?

I fucking checked, too.
Saw someone describe the plot of Bee Movie the other day as: man cucked by bee. I cannot look at this movie the same anymore.
Only one letter of the English alphabet has more than one syllable, and it has three.

Behold, the bilabials
What is last one? B, m, p are obvious.
W
When wording worries without end. No. Didn't close even once.
I took it as meaning the names. The b in double-u has your lips touch

I feel like W shouldn't count since it's basically just borrowing from B though.

Its 5
I counted and my lips touch on B, F, M, P, W,
Edit: it's actually 6 since Lips briefly touch for V
My lips definitely don't touch on F or V, my upper teeth just touch my lower lip but upper lip is safe from contact.
If your lips actually touch for f and v you're saying them wrong lmao, it's not "epp" and "bee" it's "eff" and "vee." As everyone else already said, your lips don't touch, but your lower teeth should be touching your upper lip.

Tell us you have a speach impediment without telling us you have a speach impediment.
Ehh, V feels more like my bottom lip touching my teeth, not the lip
