3. Wear the horns , to suffer cuckoldry . Horns have long been a symbol of cuckoldry ; cuckolds have traditionally worn horns to signify their wives infidelity making them horned / horn-mad ; this imaginary of horns on the forehead of a cuckold is becoming obsolescent, but it survives in Patois parlance in the colloquialaism hornin' meaning to commit adultery .
