The jargon is now used to send SMS, IM and email looks like gibberish to a stranger. However, it is not foreign when one looks back at the history of road communications. Just three decades, the CB radio (Citizens Band) has become a popular hobby to take into account, changing the truck driving industry and pop culture forever. And now, these terms are hybrids of the cool word of the day, before finding its way into everyday use.
The CB has been designed in the middle 40 years to get emergency messages through. The truckers have adopted this approach and ran with it, alerting other drivers of road hazards, traps the police (especially necessary when the oil crisis 1973 has given way to a speed limit of 55 mph national) and generally keep each other awake and engaged during long trips. Many of these terms have become in legendary camp thanks to films like "Convoy" and "Smokey and the Bandit." In addition, it is curious how these terms are reminiscent animal even more than the occasional road kill (or pizza route "in CB). Some of the main terms BC can also be found on the farm.
Only you can prevent forest fires (or where a police officer). Perhaps the most famous of all the words are jargon CB "Smokey" or "bear", derived directly "Smokey Bear," our friend forests against fire. Since its emergence in the years 40 to mid Smokey Bear and the person similar rule has been associated with highway patrol officers, making them synonymous with the police. Who has created other terms as the lair of the bear loving "to a police station," take the air "aircraft of the police, and" lead to take photos " Agents for regulating radar.
Life behind the rearview mirror. "Burro" is used to describe the area directly behind often a truck driver's blind spot. If the bearer is a tow truck, then the magic word "Dragon Wagon" is appropriate, while "pigtail" describes the electrical connection of the trailer when connected to a tractor.
man's best friend is often on the road. The strongest of dogs being held in the use of attack dog "by a Mack truck (no doubt a gesture toward his hood ornament). By using the pointer term, "the speaker describes a radar detector CB" capture "the signs of the police.
The alligators are not only in swamps. The term "crocodile" or "Gator" describes the remains of the tire tread is on the floor. This is an obvious term the tread, which tends to resemble crocodile skin, and gradually peel also moving reptiles. Similarly, "alligator bait" means several pieces of tires, while baby crocodile "means a small piece. This is an important caveat, because the pieces of tire driving can damage the stomach of a truck or even passing cars.
A nod to our feathered friends. Gallinero The term is used description of a weighing station, often abbreviated as "cooperation." "Pollo Carrier" means, literally, a truck carrying chickens, and was driven a truck and is decorated with lots of polished chrome and lights (also called fire chicken ").
So the next time you're driving on the road, a little poetry channel CB: circuit breaker rubber duck! There is a bear in the ass, and a bulldog on his right. bait crocodile is ahead and is a barn in place. A and exterior, a good friend.
With all the current technology, it is easy to look back on the CB craze such obsolete media. But there's no doubt that the jargon is embedded an impression not only of the shipping industry but also pop culture as a whole like instant messaging, email, SMS and talk is now.
