toot

Definition

To make a short, sharp sound with a horn or whistle; informally, it also means to release gas from your body (fart).

Usage & Nuances

"Toot" is informal when used for farting, often used with children. For horns, it's friendly and light; 'give a toot' means to honk once. Don't confuse with 'toot' (as in 'toot your own horn', meaning to brag), which is an idiom.
