It's beeped the horn, not 'bibbed'

IANBU

YABU. My nana says bibbed, so there.

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

it might be "sounded the horn"

Urgh it's beeped yanbu

Beeped, honked or pumped

Never heard of bibbed!

YANBU, is bibbed even a word?!

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.

It’s bipped actually.

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

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

Parped

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

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

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

It’s bib the hooter round these parts

Hooter pronounces ‘ooter’

*pronounced

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

Obviously I'm right.

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

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

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

It's pipped

Pipped here too

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?"
