"mc" [nq:1]How many different slang of expressing "horn-blowing of automobiles"? Thanks[/nq] From The American Thesaurus of Slang, 2nd Ed (1954) by Lester V. Berrey & Melvin Van Den Bark:
767. Travel and Transportation. 9. SOUND HORN. Ask for the road, toot the tooter. Spec._ lay on the air, _to apply the air horns excessively.
[nq:1]That's not the same booklet that enjoins the rider to "go soothingly on the grease road as there lurks the skid demon", is it?...r[/nq] Sound advice!
They don't always get it right, though. From another Chinese motorcycle manual (allegedly):
'Being relaxed and wearing comfortable clothes are the main points of safely driving. Obey traffic rules and do not worry.'
