Hooter

A 'hooter' primarily refers to a siren or signaling device that emits a loud, often intermittent, sound. It's also an informal term for a person's nose, or, more coarsely, a woman's breast. The term's meaning hinges heavily on context. In its most common usage, a hooter functions as a warning signal, a call to attention, or a means of expressing oneself through sound. Colloquially, it can represent a physical attribute, though this usage is generally considered impolite or even offensive. The word itself may also function as a verb.
