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 5 points 12 hours ago

Hi horny, i'm dad.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago (4 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

With a gang

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 127 points 1 day ago (5 children)

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

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 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@lemmy.world 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@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 day 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 15 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.

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.

Trumpets are stored in the horns

A trumpet is a type of horn.

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

“into ska”

[–] HootinNHollerin@quokk.au 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

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 14 points 22 hours ago

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