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

"Brass" "woodwind" and "Percussion" were the clinical anatomy textbook words and "horn" "wind" and "drum" were the casual everyday words.

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.

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.

2

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.

2

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.

How do you think a guitarist would feel if you called their instrument an ukulele?

Davie504 calls all instruments basses

Differently, because that's a poor analogy. Trumpets are horns, guitars are stringed instruments. Now, if they called their trumpet a kazoo, it'd be time to throw down.

Just like phylogenetics and moleculargenetics are both biology, but astrophysics is not, though all 3 are natural sciences.

I was more thinking along the lines of birds being dinosaurs and humans being apes. Also you are a fish.

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.

My dumbass would’ve interpreted that as ‘I’m a trump supporter’ and definitely not gotten any action

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

You're not used to being around people who aren't repressed, are you?

What I meant was I've heard people saying it in a "I wish someone would fuck me" sort of way, just not in a flirting sort of way.

Yeah, flirting is to "I'm horny" what subtlety is to a sledgehammer to the face

I hope they get together again one day because every song they wrote was hilarious.

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