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

[-] JeSuisUnHombre@lemm.ee 48 points 2 weeks ago

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 2 weeks ago

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 2 weeks ago

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

[-] DankOfAmerica@reddthat.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't brass more commonly used?

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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 weeks 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 2 weeks ago

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

[-] morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 weeks ago

  • 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)

"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

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

My lyrics are bottomless......

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I hope they get together again one day because every song they wrote was hilarious.

Someone's tooting their own horn.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemm.ee 15 points 2 weeks ago

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