"The thiccc French horn sat next to the music stand at intermission and the music stand looked like it was trying not to make eye contact. That bell faces backward on purpose."
Etymology:
From French (referring to the instrument's development in France from the Germanic hunting horn, 17th c.) + horn, from Old English horn, from Proto-Germanic *hurnaz, cognate with Latin cornu. The 'French' was added by the English to distinguish it from the English horn, which is neither English nor a horn. Nobody has fully recovered from this.
Yes. French Horn was admitted to the Thiccctionary on July 23, 2026 and filed in the Musical Instruments section. The ruling on file: Admitted. Every subject in the catalogue is judged on its curves, not its size.
