One noteworthy omission: if you tap the seven notes of "Shave and a Haircut" (dit diddyditdit, dit dit) on your horn, it supposedly means "chinga tu madre, cabron" (fuck your mother, asshole) in Mexico.

- InCityDreams 3y ago>Shave and a Haircut" (dit diddyditdit, dit dit) ...actually would be: dit, dit-dit dit dit. You added an extra beat/ syllable (the diddy bit = shave-e-and a hair cut), or two extra. I see five notes (beats/ syllables) in 'shave and a hair cut', though the seven would fit in. "Shave and a haircut, thank you". I stand to be corrected, but it is late and i am somewhat tired and emotional.
- mig39 3y agoI always thought it was "Shave and a haircut, two bits."
- bkuri 3y agoI came here to say this. Btw, the abbreviated version only consists of 5 honks (ie "chinga tu madre" without the "cabrón" at the end), which is much more common in cdmx these days. As a matter of fact, there's a common interaction in which one person will do the 5-honk salute and the receiver will reply with the missing 2 honks. You can hear a couple of samples of that on sound file #13.
