Why any self-respecting woman would want to be referred to as a beaver is beyond me.
go-go girls.
Isn't this what truckers call livestock? or is it just pigs that are go-go girls? (learned that one from the movie "Convoy"- and, yes, i am that old!)
Kojak with a Kodak
trooper with a radar gun.

my favorite movie.

you also got "smokey bear with a capture" and "we got a full grown bear sellin tickets to the state troopers ball"

 

Hammer down! Hammer down! Rabbit ears! Hammer down! Rabbit ears! Hammer down!

Lol. If anyone gets that reference, I'll buy you a pizza. (not really)

 

"is she wearin' a wedding dress?"

"She was"

I don't want to hi-jack this thread, so...

Choke and puke
a truck stop

"Keep the bugs off yer glass and the bears off yer... tail"
C.B. Mcall, "Convoy" (the song)

 

if i could figure out what rabbit ears are i could tell ya.

my first guess is something to do with girls, since rabbit ears make me think of the playboy bunny

 

Nah, actually that was a quote from a song by They Might Be Giants. I think 'rabbit ears' means a radar detector, but i'm not 100% sure on that.

 

I just watched Smokey and the Bandit today in fact. Got it on DVD as well. Love that movie! Bear with me to quote on of Gleason's teriffic lines:

Edited for Content

Hilarious stuff. Although, back to CB lingo, it's amazing the similarites in 10-codes between C.B. and the 10-codes that I use with my law enforcement dispatch center.

Buford: "That's very comfortin', but I'm in high speed pursuit! Don't you hear good?"
Sheriff Branford: "I hear perfectly. The fact that you are a sheriff is not germane to the situation."
Buford: "The damn Germans got nothin to do wit it!"
Junior: "What'd he say?"
Buford: "Shut up! One thing at a time!"

 

Radar detectors are called bird dogs.

95% of that movie trucker lingo doesn't exist out in the real world.

 

hey what do you call them "urine bombs" in trucker lingo?

when you uh-hem pee in a jug and throw it out the window....

HA HAHAA....
