CB slang is horrible

You should hear some of the terms used the highways. Just when you think you've heard it all them a driver says something so funny you almost fall put of the truck.


Yup, I’m warming’ right up to, “raking the leaves”,

Said it before: Literally, some of the funniest things I’ve heard in this lifetime came across that radio.

a). Sometimes, you need to be a truck driver to appreciate it. Apt description.

b). Sometimes, it’s wit on display. Great comedic timing.

c). Then there’s the occasional corn-fed genius has men pulling off onto the side of the road. No way to focus till that moment passes.

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.
Or The guy saying one one one or the audio audio. Or repeats the first few.word over and over before finishing the sentence
 
dont forget this current 1 waving the hand at you,sounds to me its like callin you a GOOD BUDDY hahahahaHAHAHAHAHA
