The idiom "toot one's own horn" originated from the act of musicians playing brass instruments and creating a sound by blowing air into the instrument's horn. It is used to describe someone who boasts about their own achievements, skills, or abilities, often in a self-promotional or self-aggrandizing manner. In other words, this expression suggests that the person is seeking attention or praise for themselves and is not modest about their accomplishments.
