It's beeped the horn, not 'bibbed'

My current car beeps.

The previous one bibbed.

My dads car goes AWOOGA and is illegal and knows it and is slightly ashamed but not enough not to go AWOOGA.

I am perfectly aware that the sayings are 'dog eat dog world' and 'to all intents and purposes' even if sometimes I will say 'to all intents and porpoises' because I like to be amusing.

The above statements are fact, some cars beep, some bip, some bib, and some go AWOOGA it is the language of cars.

I want a car that goes AWOOGA. Where did he get this chariot of wonder?

Oh god do not google bib the horn and click on the urban dictionary def.

I prefer "tooted"

Beeped or honked (a honk is a deeper tone). No idea what bipped is but I don't like it. YANBU

"Pip" the horn is in OED

1. transitive. To toot or beep (a person) with the horn of a vehicle; to sound (a horn). Also intransitive. 1918 A. Quiller-Couch Foe-Farrell vi. 114 I pipped him [sc. the constable] Good-night, and we sailed down the hill in some style. 1978 R. Holles Spawn iv. 28 People passing in cars pipped and waved although they hardly knew you. 1989 M. Ripley Just Another Angel (BNC) 210 The driver pipped his horn, almost apologetically . I couldn't blame him , nobody likes to pick an argument with a London cabbie. 2000 Birmingham Evening Mail (Nexis) 24 Nov. 32 It has reached the stage where drivers are pipping at people to get off the pavements to let them through.

Isn't "pipping" shorter than "beeping"? When you just tap on the horn, rather than pressing it?

@ScrambledSmegs

The Daddy retrofitted a klaxon, for the illegal AWOOGA-ing of anyone that offends his eyes, and for telling the pub he is there outside awaiting his takeaway tea.

It is very illegal and an absolutely brilliant sound and he has fitted the same horn on every car he has owned since around 1978, though one year the electrics on his Renault went very odd and it would AWOOGA all by itself.. sometimes in the night, from the garage... that was a bit creepy.

Bib is a contraction of beep with a regional variation in pronunciation. I would say bib but I would write it as beep.

My car is Italian.
I think I hear him saying ‘avanti Avanti pronto sicirso’ every now and then when I beep my horn (actually his horn).

Sicorso.

Anyway it needs to take into account not just blue region but the cars heritage surely ??

I can’t just impose a pamp’ or a ‘bib’ on my Milanese boy??

Where I come from, “papping” is another word for shitting (as in, “he papped his pants”).

Please do not pap while driving, as it is unhygienic. Papping on your horn is also impractical and dangerous.

Pip or beep here, never heard of bibbed!
Parp is definitely a farting noise.🤣

It’s honked or bibbed for me. I’ve never beeped my horn at anyone.

I've also heard of papped the horn

We give it some horn action

Didn’t even realise that bib/bibbed wasn’t what everyone says (Brummie here).
Blast if it’s someone who’s a dick, bib if you’re alerting someone to a minor incident like the lights have turned green but you’re not moving

simplify and go for "sound the horn?"

I've never ever heard of bibbed before

Didn't Noddy use to parp his horn?

Its beeped, or peeped. Bibbed doesn't even sound like the noise a horn makes. A bib is something you put on a baby.

Its beeped, or peeped. Bibbed doesn't even sound like the noise a horn makes. A bib is something you put on a baby.

And “peeped” is something some do around a corner or inside wrapping paper!

Personally, I “rifle” through my filing looking for something. I don’t point a very large Gun at my paperwork.

So, horses for courses.

With my car you have to press the horn quite hard to make any noise at all. Tapping it will achieve nothing. Pips are what you hear on the radio before The World at One.
