the punctuation mark of digestion, broadcasting your body's verdict on dinner.
means To toot is to make a short, sharp blast of sound — from a horn, a whistle, or, yes, the human body.
from An echoic word, meaning it imitates the very sound it names — like 'beep' or 'honk.' It surfaced in English likely by the 1500s, related to the Middle Low German 'tuten,' to blow a horn, with similar sound-words scattered across the Germanic languages. The bodily sense came later, the human horn earning the same verb as the brass one.
