With a gang

Someone's tooting their own horn.

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!

[–] JamesBoeing737MAX@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 hours ago

Hi horny, i'm dad.

Uhhh... Loud?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

"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

You're not used to being around people who aren't repressed, are you?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

What I meant was I've heard people saying it in a "I wish someone would fuck me" sort of way, just not in a flirting sort of way.

[–] dalekcaan@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah, flirting is to "I'm horny" what subtlety is to a sledgehammer to the face

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 9 points 12 hours ago

Dude just wanted to show his horn blowing skills

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 127 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

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

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

A trumpet is a type of horn.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, fuck paraphyletic groups!

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Just like phylogenetics and moleculargenetics are both biology, but astrophysics is not, though all 3 are natural sciences.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

I was more thinking along the lines of birds being dinosaurs and humans being apes. Also you are a fish.

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 42 points 20 hours 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@lemmy.world 32 points 20 hours 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@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

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

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.

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.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 hours ago

Trumpets are stored in the horns

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 39 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Isn't brass more commonly used?

"Brass" "woodwind" and "Percussion" were the clinical anatomy textbook words and "horn" "wind" and "drum" were the casual everyday words.

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

This is giving me a tromboner.

You want some sax?

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

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 14 points 16 hours ago

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

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 49 points 21 hours ago

“into ska”
