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

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 48 points 6 months 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 36 points 6 months 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

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 40 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

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.

Enh, in my experience "horn" refers to a French horn, but "horns" refers to all brass (separate from woodwinds, percussion, etc).

But yeah, if somebody referred to a horn, I'd assume they meant French horn.

Trumpets are stored in the horns

In my experience its very common, just to give a counterpoint. "Bring in the horns" to denote a trumpet heavy section, or just referring to the brass section as "the horn section". 8dk might just be reguonal i guess but its colloquial.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 5 points 6 months ago

Can agree. Where I live horn only refers to Alto Horns. Trumpets are something different.

No. Tubing and curl is wrong. It's not quite right for a trumpet either, but having 16 pixels doesn't give you much room for accuracy, I guess.

“into ska”

[–] HootinNHollerin@quokk.au 43 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 months ago

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

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

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

So bande dessinée is drawn porn? Actually, I've seen some French comics and it tracks.

[–] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 6 months ago

haha there are a few of those too!

it's a word with many meanings

  • bande (noun, f.): a stripe, a strip, a reel (cinema), a frequency band (FM, AM)
  • bande (noun, f.): a band, a herd, a troop, a gang, a group of individuals
  • bander (verb): to draw (a bow)

You've joined a Mariachi band?

"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

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months 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.

Someone's tooting their own horn.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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