Seconded. "Horn Please" / "Sound Horn" / "Blow Horn" is the actual message. OK is often painted on a separate line. Sometimes above, sometimes below the "Horn Please" message.
I don't think any of these have a meaning though. I think they are just memes (in the Dawkins sense). Also a meme on truck art: some sappy line about lost love. Also, "We Two Ours Two", which became "We Two Ours One" (usually in Hindi)
- statictype 5y ago“We two ours one” always puzzled me. I assume this is about overpopulation and encouraging families to have a single child?
- qart 5y agoExactly that. There used to be government ads between TV shows about various circumstances for casually inquiring about the protagonist's family. The response would be the catchphrase "hum do, humare do" (we two, ours two). The message changed a few years later to encourage a three-member family. The protagonist would always beam when saying the catchphrase. Edit: I think I remember... the early ads were for getting condoms for free at government run hospitals and clinics. Later on, the ads were for encouraging vasectomy.
