picked up a CB any lingo help?

[NHextremeXJ]

Well a few used round these parts are...

county bounty - cop
ex: "theres a county bounty at...."

yard stick - mile marker
ex: "just passed the 10 yard stick"

4 wheeler - car/truck/passenger vehicle
ex: "we got a 4 wheeler stuck in the median..."

ex using all 3: "you got a 4wheeler stuck in the median at the 10 yard stick, and 3 county bounties on the scene"

Can anyone say this without adopting a southern accent? :dunno:

15M, 20M, 30M 40M > 440, 2M

--ron

:laugh3:

2M > nothing at all or cell phone in the boonies

When I'm licensed I'll worry about my other bands. The 2M is set up for local repeaters, was free, and is only there for emergency use. Why I'm too lazy to get my license is beyond me...

Here is something form the '70's hope it helps!

Some decades were best left buried... That was one of them.

Any one with a "Superfly" hair do like that sure has no place to talk!

I'm not talking about being on trail, I'm talking about on the road. It is very few and far between the personal vehicles that use CB on the roadways. 18 wheelers for the most part, but it is few there, too.

Dunno where you drive, but around here all 18-wheelers have CBs, and most of the larger dump trucks that run on the Interstate have CBs. And most of the drivers have CBs in their personal vehicles (a.k.a. four wheelers).

"breaker one nine": fundamental CB lingo mistake while on a channel other than 19. If your breaking on channel 14, it's "breaker one four", not "breaker one nine"



Some that I use:

"back door": Hows it look out your back door? Looking for traffic/weather/police conditions from someone who has just driven the opposite way you are driving

County Mounty: not County Bounty

"truck stop": only should be used to describe places that serve food from a waitress. Conaco's with more than one diesel pump are not Truck Stops. Truck Stops have showers.

"you got a smokey rolling about the 14" This means a state patrolman was last seen driving around the 14 mile marker.

"taken your picture": This means a speed trap has been set up with radar.

"principal's office" a weigh station

"hold on to your steering wheel as this one goes by": usually warning someone a head of you that a super hot chick is passing you and she might just blow you right off the road. Very useful while traveling to Moab with some buddies while wife is in the rig. Easily explained by some made up facts about wind resistance/drafting bull sh!t.

"One foot on the floor, one hanging out the door and she just wont do no more!" That is how I drive!
