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

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?

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.

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”

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week 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 week 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

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

"I'm horny" is just not something I can hear people honestly saying to someone else in my head except as a joke.

Someone's tooting their own horn.

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