Hi friends,
I cannot understand the meaning of "horn-hooting" in the following text:
“Better still, thanks to them and the construction boom generated by the reordering of civic life, the economy is pulling out of the slump. Who said the spirit of cooperation could not prevail?
Wait a minute, thinks Stan. Hold on. What’s underneath all the horn-tooting altruism? Some folks must be making a shitload of cash out of this whole thing.”
And "toned" in this sentence:
“How lithe and toned and strong her body must be.”
Thanks alot
