This entitled thread is stressing me out so much I've had to stop reading.

Bibbed? Bipped?? Pumped???

3rdNamechange · 10/09/2020 21:47

Bibbed #sorry

Badabingbadabum · 10/09/2020 21:47

Beeped, honked, bipped. Or blew, if you are talking about it.

PablosHoney · 10/09/2020 21:51

Ahh hate bibbed, and waiting on ‘tender hooks’

MomToTwoBabas · 10/09/2020 21:51

I've never heard anyone say bibbed what is that about? What's bibbed?I

PablosHoney · 10/09/2020 21:51

Pipped makes you sound like something out of The wind in the willows

steff13 · 10/09/2020 21:52

Honked the horn

MillieEpple · 10/09/2020 21:53

Parp parp

EchoCardioGran · 10/09/2020 21:57

No sounding of horns after ten pm please.
I'm up early in the morning.

Hazelmazel · 10/09/2020 21:59

Bibbing is definitely acceptable otherwise what about the third king on a scooter? (We three kings of orient are, one in a taxi, one in a car. One on a scooter, bibbing his hooter, following yonder star...) it's a different sound to a beep.

HoldingTight · 10/09/2020 22:06

Sarf east Londoner - it's bibbed.

RabbityMcRabbit · 10/09/2020 22:11

Anyone who thinks you can "bib" your horn needs to Google it, it doesn't exist. Google offers "beep", "parp" and "sound" but certainly not "bib", that is something a baby wears.

TheCrowFromBelow · 10/09/2020 22:15

Parp parp
Toot toot
Bib bib
Beep beep
Orŕrrrrrrrrrrnk

I think it depends what you're driving or if you're asking my dog to move, the it's definitely bib beep

MoonSauce · 10/09/2020 22:15

It's clearly meep-meeping.

This thread reads hilariously. @mnhq I think you should watch this one for classics Grin

EmbarrassedUser · 10/09/2020 22:17

Definitely beeped. It’s like these morons who say ‘tuth’ instead of ‘tooth’. It makes me cringe inside when I hear an adult say it 🤬

GlassInEachHand · 10/09/2020 22:19

Beep beep yeah! Good enough for the Beatles...

oreshina · 10/09/2020 22:19

Honked here

CallarMorvern · 10/09/2020 22:20

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)

Ha, I was reading the replies up till this point, thinking I say pipped, am I abnormal?! Then read the above reply and funnily enough I was born and brought up a few miles from Blackburn and yes, I have strong Lanc's accent.

UnaCorda · 10/09/2020 22:21

If you say "bibbed" do you also say, "it's a doggy dog world" and "to all intensive purposes"?

Here are the meanings of bib:

  1. An item of clothing for people (especially babies) tied around their neck to protect their clothes from getting dirty when eating.
  2. Similar items of clothing such as the Chinese dudou and Vietnamese yem.
  3. (sports) A rectangular piece of material, carrying a bib number, worn as identification by entrants in a race
  4. (sports) A colourful polyester or plastic vest worn over one's clothes, usually to mark one's team during group activities.
  5. The upper part of an apron or overalls.
  6. A patch of colour around an animal's upper breast and throat.
  7. A north Atlantic fish (Trisopterus luscus), allied to the cod; the pouting.
  8. A bibcock.

It's not in the OED, the Cambridge dictionary, the Collins dictionary or the Macmillan dictionary.
