Toot

Image text: This is also one of only five identified situations in which a vuvuzela is actually appropriate.
For our international readers, "Toot my own horn" is an expression (possibly only used in America) that means to brag about ones self.
Vuvuzela is a noise maker that is native to South Africa and is featured heavily in any World Cup game. Many vuvuzelas blown (played?) at the same time make a noise similar to that of a thousand bees.

It’s not a vuvuzela, vuvuzela’s aren’t funny. They’ve been in the public mind for about 2 months and are already over referenced, let it go, leave the comedy to xkcd

I think the vuvuzela reference there was referring to the image text.

In the UK, the expression is “blow my own trumpet”, and it would be impractical to carry a trumpet around the whole time.
