Mototaxi is a widely used term for a motorcycle taxi in many Spanish-speaking countries, where drivers and passengers use it as an everyday call for a ride. Online, the shouted form took on a life of its own as a short, shareable audio clip, passed around in memes and short videos rather than tied to a single film or television scene. Its appeal comes from its recognisable word, its exaggerated length and its street-level humour, which make it easy to reuse whenever a creator wants a fast, funny transport gag.
