AIBU to ask what do you do with your horn?

[AllThatIAmRoom101]

Just a carry on really from the other thread. Everyone seemed to have so many different words for "beeping' your horn.

Honking

depends what exactly you are trying to describe
(from the other thread too!)

Papped, toot toot (for toddler DS)

Beeped

Peep.

Honked or peeped

It's a beep if I am annoyed (usually a fairly long one or two) and a toot if I am "greeting" someone (a couple of short ones).

Beeping but we just got a new car and the horn is such an embarrassing squeak I’m having to hold in my road rage

Beep or honk

'Sound' the horn, or 'beeped' it....

Bip it. Or lean on it.

Beeped, papped or honked

Never Pomped

I know this isn't what you are asking but I have never beeped my horn! I've been driving two years. I tried to once but didn't press it hard enough! Luckily the driver of the other car saw me just in time. (I was on a roundabout and he nearly joined it without looking.)

I've never beeped/bibbed/sounded my horn in 8 years of driving.

Blow or sound.

I've never beeped/bibbed/sounded my horn in 8 years of driving.

I believe you, but I am surprised!

You haven't even been behind someone who didn't notice the light was green and a gentle beep woke them up? It's not always aggressive or to defend yourself.

Honk or press. Occasionally parp, but parp also means fart in our household lol

Beep

I say pamped/pamp. Im just outside Glasgow.

Pap. Beep. Honk.
My car isn't very good at doing the polite little beep though, so I try not to do it unless I have to, I flash my headlights to alert someone to traffic lights changing

Beep. I've never beeped my horn except from a couple if times passing someone I know. My car is old and the horn is pathetic I would too embarrassed to use it aggressively 😂

Bibbed

Pip or beep

Although my car sounds like fucking roadrunner
