Someone's tooting their own horn.

"I'm horny" is just not something I can hear people honestly saying to someone else in my head except as a joke.

This Flight of the Conchords song did not help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOgC8qp_I2Y

Well, good on him or her for being a music enthusiast, but what does this have to do with flirting?

Hi Horny, nice to meet you!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 16 hours ago

Hi horny, i'm dad.

That is not a horn. Purple correctly identified it as a trumpet.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's pretty common to call all wind instruments horns in a band context, it is a trumpet but most musicians aren't going to be mad at calling it a horn. Still a bad pick up line

[–] MrQuallzin 32 points 1 day ago (12 children)

Trumpeter here, I'd be insulted if I was called a horn. Might be regional, but that's not common here. If we're speaking about horns, it's only French horns

[–] RampantParanoia2365 1 points 12 hours ago

Well, yeah...you play the horn, you aren't a horn yourself. Horns don't even have thumbs.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Another trumpeter here. If it was a wind instrument that didn't have a reed it was called a horn.

Doesn't look like that article says anything about trumpets to me. It does link to this article about horns, though: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_(instrument)

That one says:

In horns, unlike some other brass instruments such as the trumpet, the bore gradually increases in width through most of its length—that is to say, it is conical rather than cylindrical.[1]

Which seems to specifically exclude trumpets from horns.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Most of these horn sections feature some combination of saxophones, trumpets and trombones.

Also the popular music section includes two photos with people playing trumpet and lists a bunch of horn sections, most of which contain trumpets.

Trumpets are stored in the horns

"bander" is the french verb to "have a hard on" so it's still on track in my books

“into ska”

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My dumbass would’ve interpreted that as ‘I’m a trump supporter’ and definitely not gotten any action

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

I would've interpreted it as "tooting", i.e. farting. No idea, how much action that warrants.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

You've joined a Mariachi band?
