Birds that make loud hooting sounds, particularly owls, or things that hoot like horns or sirens.
From Middle English 'hoten,' an onomatopoeia imitating the sound owls make. The '-er' suffix was added to describe things that make this sound. Originally referred specifically to owls before expanding to other hooting instruments.
Owls are the original 'hooters'—their famous hoot is actually a territorial call that can travel up to a mile away. The Great Horned Owl's 'hoo-hoo-hoo' is so loud it can rupture an eardrum, making it one of nature's most powerful calls.
Used as slang for women's breasts, reducing women to body parts; derives from reduction of complex personhood to sexualized physical features—predominantly applied to women, not men.
When referring to owls/sounds, use 'hoots' or 'owls.' Avoid using as slang for bodies entirely.
