CB slang is horrible

[Turbo T]

Badfish you must be referring to the guys on channel 6 a.k.a. the superbowl.

In addition to their use of "just got down" and "no doubt about it", I've also heard one of them say "break-break-break" as the last words spoken before he unkeyed the mic. Other times I've heard "bye-bye-bye" said on their in a similar manner.

The ones using the slang most likely are not using the radio for business reasons but for pleasure reasons. Or they watched Smokey And The Bandit one too many times and are trying to relive the CB craze. Or think that 35 years later, getting into CB, one must talk like that to be accepted on the radio/is the norm.

Either way it doesn't bother me. Besides, as pointed out, hams have their own slanguage.

Hams certainly do have their own.

Ever hear an ARES Net?

BTW, I am a HAM/CB'er and proud of both hobbies.

Never really got into the whole CB jargon thing. It's fun to a point but not really my thing.

It has always been a point of personal pride that I have from my very first time on the air maintained good radio practices. I operate as if my mom was sitting in the room next to me -and in the very early days, she did!

You should let loose at least once and just "get down" who knows, you might get hooked.

 

[Mudfoot]

That one never bothered me because it makes sense, although it is pointing out the obvious

Everyone complains about the slang but if in an alternate reality channel 6 had a bunch of people saying "Good day sir and how are you", "Fine sir, thank you for asking, your radio is sounds very well today" they would all missing the "good ol days" with the slang

Maybe in the future, you can incorporate a little jargon while doing your video reviews.

good analysis of olden days cb jargon of days gone by,
before a "south bounder" was a lot lizzards profession ,
and a "good buddy" was a term of endearment for homosexuality,
and " keep the shiney side up and the greasy side down. is what you do to maintain your virginity when spending the night in jail .op:op:

When you guys talk on the radio do you use "CB slang"? You know...BUMP BUMP, I gust got down, no doubt about it, etc. etc.? What if you walked into McDonalds and placed your order like this...

"Hey Timmy, Hey Timmy... I need a Big Mac BUMP BUMP! And a large fries....NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! And why don't you throw in a large chocolate shake....AND I JUST GOT DOWN"!!!

I wonder if guys that talk like this on the radio also talk like this while cashing their paycheck, ordering food, talking to their lawyer, or talking to a police officer that just pulled them over.

I'm sure glad I don't have any of these phrases in my vocabulary when I talk. My point? If you don't talk like that in person, don't do it over the air. Maybe CB wouldn't have such a hillbilly reputation.

Just my $0.02. Please carry on.

What do you care what a bunch of CBers are doing out of your sight?
You have made for yourself a high horse, now get off it . . .

 

[Eastside]

Get up on that stump...go to the pump....slap that rump...go bump bump bump.
