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

[–] [email protected] 46 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

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

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

The piccolo flute is a horn?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't brass more commonly used?

Trumpets are stored in the horns

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

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.

Someone's tooting their own horn.

"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

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

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

“into ska”

[–] [email protected] 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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Dude just wanted to show his horn blowing skills
