In America, honking one’s horn primarily expresses two things, “I almost just hit you because you’re a terrible driver,” and “I’ve been waiting at this green light for five seconds, and you need to move it.” I’ve probably honked my horn three times in the last four years, but now that I am in Egypt, my eyes have been opened. Honking a horn could mean a number of things:
- I almost just hit you because you’re a terrible driver.
- I’ve been waiting at this green light for five seconds, and you need to move it.
- You’re in my way.
- Does anyone within a kilometer radius need a ride?
- I’m here.
- I’m bored.
- Hello foreigners.
and
- Sorry I just hit you with my car, Chim.
