It's beeped the horn, not 'bibbed'

@UnaCorda uh NO. Because that would be wrong. But I'm a lazy speaker and 'beeped' just takes too long. 'Bipped' or 'bibbed' is quicker an more onomatopoeic

We toot where I come from.

Definitely bibbed (another sarf Londoner)

"That tosser just bibbed at me..... caaaaaaahhhnt"

Beeped here. Never heard any variation except maybe tooted.

YABU I'm afraid. It's quite clearly papped!

A former colleague used 'horning'. As in a car drove past horning at me. Occasionally they got horned.
It's beeped not bibbed.

You're all right AND wrong cos sometimes I say beeped and sometimes I say bibbed 🤣🤣

@UnaCorda

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.

Thank you UnaCorda, my work here is done.

It's definitely beep.
Never heard of "bibbing" but have laughed out loud to some of these replies🤣

@Mamette

It’s bipped actually.

Yep, this.

I've never heard of bibbed or bipped.

Am I the first to say "pamped"...?

@UnaCorda

There is, at least in my Shorter OED, one meaning that you haven't listed. Granted, it doesn't deal with sounding a horn, but it is a verb.

In order of length and loudness

Bip your horn
Beep y h
Toot
Sound
Blast

Never ever heard ‘bibbed’.

@EmbarrassedUser

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 🤬

Not another person who doesn't understand the difference between correct pronunciation and dialect.

*gavel

It is sort of in the Collins (scroll down to examples of it in a sentence)

Never heard of bibbed but think we should all adopt it, easier to say than beeped. Honked is awful.

This is very patronising, most people know what a bib is.

‘Bibbed’ seems to be a colloquialism and is also onomatopoeic as pp have said, so comparing it to ‘doggy dog world’, ‘intensive purposes’ is patronising and superior.

Bibbed
Bipped
Parped
Tooted
Honked
Beeped
Barped

(Never pipped though - are you mad?)

It’s all about the context.

I like honk - but it makes me laugh 😆
So toot or beep for me

Honk or Oink in my family!

Is at beeped; DF says pipped.

And I’m no moron, EmbarrassedUser- I pronounce it ‘tuth’ not ‘toooth’ (yes I meant to put 3 o’s) as it’s the way most people say it in my area. I’m aware that others pronounce it differently, but different dialects and accents do not make people morons!!

Isn't it blow your horn.

I'm keeping it clean BTW!!!
