honk my own b...
Robin: Want to talk mature? I just wrapped up a live newscast by honking my own boobs.
Barney had dared Robin to say some stupid words on her newscast. (Booger, nipple...)
This is a line said by Robin from How I Met Your Mother.
What does honk mean here?

Usually "honk" is the action of applying pressure onto a specific specialized item which then makes a "honking" noise (an old fashioned car horn is the common example for this).
The slightly less common other examples of "honk" are for describing the noise a goose makes and for when a woman's breasts are squeezed; but the latter is VERY casual and not considered good manners obviously.

Refers to squeezing a rubber ball to honk a horn. So, it means "squeeze."
