People who "bib" their horn. No, you t

Onomatopoeiacaly (sp?), 'bib' make more sense that either of the ones you quote.![](/inc/images/censored.gif)
But it's not really onomatopoeias anyway, and you don't "bib" your horn, it's just the wrong word.

My hatred is for the phrase "fish supper". I cannot describe the extent of my totally irrational hatred of that, in fact I can't even explain what (if anything) is wrong with it at all, but it makes me actually boil when I hear fish and chips referred to in that way.

Oh yes! Fish supper, usually with a Scottish accent because that's what my sister in law's Glaswegian husband says: "fush supperrr". What fish? Why 'supper' for God's sake. What's wrong with cod and chips?
