Horn Blowing = Lion's Roar?
(This comment interprets horn blowing. My own interpretation is found
below.) Horn Blowing: Interpreting the Message. If someone honks a horn at you, the meaning is all in the duration. A really brief "Bip!" means "Hi!" or "Bye!" A moderately short beep means, "I just want you to realize I'm here." Somewhere between a second and maybe two seconds means, "I'm here and I am annoyed at your heedlessness." Over two seconds it means, "I'm ****ed off at you, JERK!" Longer than three seconds it means, "I'm ****ed off at this whole situation! And I am frustrated that I can't do anything more effective than sit here and blow my horn. Boy am I frustrated!" (Usually employed in traffic jams to make people around you even more frustrated too.) Repeated honks are either repetitions of the above (sorted by blast duration) or monotone musical "Hellos" if done in cadence with known tunes like "Shave and a haircut: two bits!" (Meant to be friendly.) http://www.dahon.com/forum/index.php...&#entry37 361 Like I said somewhere else: most of the time the vehicle's blowing the horn is equivalent to the lion's roar... "Hey, this is my territory and you better get lost --or else I eat you!" And guess what the monkey riding the bike said... "Yes, you can eat my banana!"
