What Do You Do With Your Horn?

Well.... i was at work the other day and someone said that they 'parped' their horn at someone. I then asked 'what the hell does that mean?' this is the word they use when they press there horn around Leicester way.

Now me being a staffordshire lad had never heard that word used at all.....ever!! if i have to press my horn then i would say 'i beeped at him'.

This got me thinking as to what everyone esle uses around the country and also is 'parped' a well used word and is it just me thats never heard it??

Another important thread started by me :whistling:

The horn is for frightening pedestrians who don't hear your engine in carparks or backroads and wander in front of you. A well timed blast works wonders.

i "peeped" the horn for me.

In face i just "peeped" my horn about 15 mins ago at a stupid white van man who pulled out in front of me.

The "peep" was used in conjunction with a number of expletives , something along the line of "you stuipid f*****g w****r" followed by violent fist waving out of the window.

I'm presuming mine works on the 250, but I've yet to use it in 24,000 miles :blush:

Ya you're less likely to use your horn when you get old.... :whistling::tomato:

Regret posting now :lol: but I'm saving it for special occasions having worn previous ones out from overuse in numerous locations :whistling:
