It's beeped the horn, not 'bibbed'

YANBU. A bib is a little piece of cloth. There is no verb "to bib".

@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?"

No, the short gentle noise is a beep. The longer, louder noise is a hoot, or, taken to extremes, a blast.

It's bipped if it's short, beeped if it's long.

Peeped or blast depending on severity.

Surely the bibber is the proper name for the remote locking fob? Noun and verb: “have you bibbed the car with the bibber?” Alt form: acceptable for any remote control (slang)

Bibbed or pipped.

No need to BEEP your horn, if you've got time to BEEP you've got time to take evasive action.
I always say this to my OH, drives him crackers

It was bibbed where I grew up.

Bibbed, bibber, bib are all utterly ridiculous terms.

@JorisBonson

Parped

Do you drive Noddy's car?

Bip or beep.

Oh my grandad used to say pip the horn so when we got somewhere I was allowed to give 3 pips on the horn so people knew we had arrived

BEEP for me. Never heard of bibbed or bipped.

Had an ex from Blackburn and they said "pipped". Actually sounds really charming in the strong Lancashire accent him and his Dad had (his Dad was telling a story about someone "pipping" at him)

“Beeped” is grumpy-driver for “get the fuck out the way you dick”. “Bibbed” is annoying-driver for “oh hello Mrs Neighbour, lovely to see you!”.

“Parped” is farty.
“Hooted” is tweedy-old-git-speak.
“Honked” is either a goose, or boob-related humour.

My MIL say papped.

It's 'tooted' you toot the horn.

Yanbu. Beeped the horn

I’m just hear to say I miss the comedy horns that got banned in the 90’s.

Na-naa-na-na-nanana-nanana-naaaa!

Actually you can either:

Beeeeeep

Beep

Bip

Depending on how hard and long you press the horn for.

Bipping is good to show you friend your outside their house to collect them.

Beeping is good to make someone aware they are about to back into you

Beeeeeeping is good for when someone has been a dick head and nearly crashed into you

I've always said bibbed, always sort of knew it was probably wrong though. Everyone I know says bibbed too, maybe it's a Midlands thing?

Yabu it’s definitely bibbed.
Bib bib.

Bibbed is a friendly
Honk is angry
Beeped is alerting someone to your presence to avoid an accident

HONK

Thank you! I thought I was going mad

OP yabu it is honked not beeped or bibbed.

I'd say Beeped maybe it's a regional thing?
