It's beeped the horn, not 'bibbed'

IANBU

[Ughmaybenot]

YABU. My nana says bibbed, so there.

[Spanglebangle]

YABU it's bibbed. If someone is being stupid you bib them.

[WellRiddleMeThis]

it might be "sounded the horn"

[nevernotstruggling]

Urgh it's beeped yanbu

[ThanksMateThanksMate]

Beeped, honked or pumped

Never heard of bibbed!

[Haenow]

YANBU, is bibbed even a word?!

[EveryDayIsADuvetDay]

Either version is an attempt to replicate the sound of the horn presumably - so either is correct depending on the noise your car horn makes.

[Mamette]

It’s bipped actually.

[Clevs]

I've heard of 'bipped' but never 'bibbed'.

[Palavah]

Clearly 'beeped' is onomatopaeic, so 'bibbed' is a different but equally legitimate verb.

[JorisBonson]

Parped

[TeaSoakedDisasterMagnet]

You’re wrong on both counts because it’s Bipped.

[CookieMumsters]

Bobbed if it's a shirt blast, beeped if it's a long blast.

[BigBlondeBimbo]

I have never heard of "bibbing the horn"! Where is this a thing please?

[BasinHaircut]

It’s bib the hooter round these parts

[BasinHaircut]

Hooter pronounces ‘ooter’

[Theimpossiblegirl]

Is it regional? DH is from Essex and says bibbed, I'm Welsh and say beeped.

[Theimpossiblegirl]

Obviously I'm right.

[OddBoots]

Isn't 'beeped' a longer press than a 'bibbed'?

[mrsBtheparker]

I've heard pipped and bipped, as well as beeped, but never bibbed.

[ChanceChanceChance]

No issue with bibbed or bipped, beeped somehow takes too long to say.

[CandyCaneLane0]

It's pipped

[Fedupmum88]

Pipped here too

[TheIncredibleBookEatingManchot]

Bibbing and beeping are different sounds.

A bib is a short, gentle noise that means something a bit like a polite "excuse me".

A beep is a longer, louder noise that means something like a yelled "oi, you, what the hell do you think you're doing?"
