tn tn ttn

Used in Bahrain as a written expression for the sound of cars honking to the rhythm of the Arabic protest chant for "Down with (King) Hamad" (Arabic:يسقط حمد, yasqut Hamad).

Term originated in 2011 during pro-democracy protests against the monarchy in Bahrain following 14th-feb-2011.

The sound of tn tn ttn was deafening at yesterday's protest!
