Solid media is nutrient medium on whcih, when streak with the bacterial sample the bacterial colonies developed. It is commonly used to isolate different bacterial species or to have a pure culture i.e. a culture containing only one type of microorganism. At first R. Koch a German physician used to grow bacterial colony on boiled and sliced potatoes. Eventually he developed the culture media using meat extracts and protein digests and solidify it by using gelatin. Although Gelatin is consumed by many bacterial species. Due to this disadvantage of gelatin Fannie Elishemius Hesse, the wife of Walther Hesse, one of the Koch's assistants suggest using AGAR as solidifying agent. Agar was not attacked by most bacteria and did not melt until reaching a temprature of 100oC. Furthermore once melt it did not solidify until it reached a temprature of 50oC.

Yes, some will, some won't. Do NOT use anti-bacterial dishwashing liquid, it will kill the microbes that benefit growing.

What does support bacteria they're the only culture some people have mean?
It's word play on 'culture' and 'bacteria culture' which is a liquid or gel medium designed to support the growth of microorganisms or bacteria. In this context, 'culture' means: "the tastes in art and manners that are favored by a social group". This quotation simply means that "sympathetically" some people are dirty and lacking in hygiene (as it is in unsanitary conditions that bacteria thrives!), and the only culture they have is the bacteria growing on them.
