Talk:horn

Hi, I'm catalan and I'm looking for some translations. In catalan there is an informal use of horn: ficar les banyes (to put the horns) is a way to say "having sex with a person different to your partner, be unloyal". Could you add it?

You can add it yourself - to the word cuckold SemperBlotto 15:58, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Acoustic horns in popular culture

The notion of "blowing a horn" is often used as an idiomatic expression for self-promotion.

The word "horn" by itself is often used to refer to certain musical instruments, most commonly the French horn (as in the words to the popular children's song: "The horn, the horn, it sounds so forlorn"), as well as the tuba.

Jewish altar sense

Chambers 1908 has "the projections at the four corners of the Hebrew altar, to which the victim was bound when about to be sacrificed". We do not mention this binding purpose of the horns. Equinox ◑ 18:30, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
