March 2 Day 36 The Terms we use

Get on the Horn! An expression that used to mean use the phone or get on the phone.

Someone mentioned getting on the horn to me and I took it differently.

I played the French horn for 30 years professionally. It used to irritate me when saxophone or trumpet players referred to their instrument as a horn.

Especially when we are talking internationally, we should be aware that our terms may have a different connotation to others.

Get on the horn with a prospective client and speak their language!
