You know Theresa May's bizarrely low curtsy?
Yep, that's the one: where she looks as if she's lunging her legs to death at a hardcore gym class, rather than attending a formal ceremony.
If you can't recall, you're in for a treat, as the curtsey has risen - well, lowered, seriously lowered - itself into our lives once more.
As the prime minister greeted Prince William at a ceremony marking the centenary of the First World War Battle of Amiens, she sunk so low that her knee almost hit the floor.
Yet, somehow, she still looked steady nonetheless. It is strangely impressive.

The internet is in awe of the almost sarcastically low depth of the curtsy.

An opinion: Theresa May doing a curtsy is actually just Gollum in a skirt. (@fatbobmoonbeam) https://t.co/xcthenMa96— Alice Tai MBE (@Alice Tai MBE) 1529800793
Theresa May curtsy looks like she's holding down about to do an uppercut on Mortal Kombat https://t.co/xwJiMeALby— jude (@jude) 1529767668
We should also take time to remember past curtsying highlights, such as when she met Prince William during a visit to a new rehab centre.

Perhaps we should thank May for gifting us with a touch of hilarity among the Brexit-laden misery currently wafting out of Westminster, not to mention the "blatant Islamophobia" from her former secretary, Boris Johnson. How kind.
