"Toot my own horn" is an idiom meaning to brag. Cueball here is using this idiom to mean that he is not bragging, although he obviously is. However, [[Black Hat]], being the classhole he is, takes this idiom literally and toots (blows) an {{w|air horn}}. An air horn is a horn attached to a can of compressed air, and at close range is extremely loud. Cueball is obviously surprised, as he was expecting Black Hat to start bragging instead of making an extremely loud sound with an air horn.

Black Hat's actions could also be interpreted as punishment of Cueball, who began by claiming that he didn't want to boast about his accomplishments, but then did so anyway. Or he could just be proving that he is a classhole by 1'upping Cueball.
