Technically, air horns are probably not the same as self-blowing vuvuzelas, but I think they’re close. And while those gas powered atrocities nowadays have been all but eradicated from football matches, they used to be all the rage. ‘Obnoxious’ wasn’t strong enough a word. But they were useful for clearing out space for the heavier fireworks.
That’s because even them are afraid of the potential end-of-the-world power of the damned things (have you ever seen graphical depictions of the Apocalypse? Yep. Vuvuzelas all over)
See, if you were an aficionado of all things Monty Python you would have know at least the Bouzouki and how annoying it can be if you are trying to hold a conversation.
I guess you might say you need…..
A penchant for pennants.

vuvuzelas are also gas “powered”, unless you mean gasoline horns.
At least they’re better than those obnoxious giant foam fingers. Those are even more useless (unless they make ones with the middle finger).
Ah, but the foam fingers don’t make noise when you wear them. At least, I hope they don’t! And they don’t amplify the volume of the wearer.
Has anyone actually seen a pennant other than on a stock photo for a dorm room wall? Or as tacky restaurant decoration?
I have two at home that I got as a kid, though they are kinda clothy and floppy.
Those are just flags.
“…self-blowing vuvuzelas…”

So far this week I’ve had to look up the words “Bouzouki” and “Vuvuzelas”.
Thank you, Bug, for increasing my vocabulary!
Now I just need to find ways to incorporate these words into regular conversation. I’m sure that won’t be awkward at all!
“Shut off that bloody vuvuzela!”

My new Scrabble word to get rid of two v’s. Vav, viva, vive, revive, vuvuzela.
Okay, the title of this one is brilliant.
Haha! Figured that one would confuse a few young people.
It confused this old person too. I’m ashamed to say I had to Google it 🙁
