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.

My husband horns. He does speak English as a second language but I thought it was quite funny!

I'm a honker personally.

Pipped or beeped.

@OhMyMirror

I say pamped/pamp. Im just outside Glasgow.

It's just getting more and more crazy!

I would beep or honk.
I would sound it if I was feeling formal and fancy. I imagine myself with a twirly moustache when I sound my horn for some reason. Just me? Thought so.

The butler deals with such matters.

Beep.
Blind corners usually.

Despite my inspired new username I beep or if trying to sound formal eg insurance claim, sounded!

Although does anyone else find when you need to use the horn you suddenly panic that you can’t find it / don’t know how?!!

Beep / beeping

Beep.

In 20 years of driving I've done it a few times deliberately and once accidentally. The accidental time I was in a South African National park and all sitting in rapt silence watching a leopard and her cub. I reached quietly for my extra camera lens without looking what I was doing and BEEEEPPPPP

Too'ed.

Like tooted, but with a glottal stop.

Depends, if someone has annoyed me they generally get a blast of the horn! Happens a lot when you drive a really small car and people either don’t look properly or just pull out in front of you regardless. If it’s to let someone know I’m there they get a toot.

I can never find the bloody thing when I need it, however my massive norks have no problem finding the bloody thing when I'm wiping the inside of my windshield Oh and beep/beeped, pip/pipped never Pomp or Pomped

I "hit the horn" or "sound it"

Oooer this thread and my reply sound so saucy!!!

I think in my head that I'm "beeping" but it's more a NAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR sound

Beep.

DH described the horn in my last car as 'cute' so I didn't bother using it much to convey anger

It used to be 'beep/beeped' pre dc, but now it's 'ink/inked' as Ds then aged 3, now 11 excitedly exclaimed one day "mummy look at that car it's fucking sick ink him ink him " and it kind of stuck.

Parp !!

Your three year old said what now

Im Irish if it matters but I would say beeped or blew. Beep is probably more friendly while blew could be friendly or aggressive. They are interchangeable but that would be the general pattern.
Some new ones for me here, pipped, peeped, pomped, even tooted all sound terribly polite to me. I think honk is very American.

@JesusIsAnyNameFree
Yes he really did say that at the time he was massively into cars and we'd driven past a super car, he was so excited that he couldn't contain it he's 11 now and never sworn since.

Beep or pomp!
@Pomped love the username.

Bib or bibbed

Pipped or beeped.

Pipped, except I don’t drive (yet) so it’s not something I’ve actually done.

Meeped/meeping.

Beep. Or bibbed. Never pomped 😂
