pretty much the only slang terms we use around here are for the cops, whether is a "city boy"--city cop or a "smokey"--sherriff.....other than that its all straight. the cops in our town like to all gang up and sit in the store parking lots in the evenings when you cant see them.....we call those "swarmers"....but thats just our term around here.

Would that two-stick been called a BROWNING? I used to ride with my father back in the sixties and I think that's what he called it.

83bigbroncoguy,
Is he a driver? That would be too funny!
I remember the twin stick Mack being refered to as a "Quad box". Went to pick up some heavy equipment one time in a '73 D Model with a Quad box. The truck had a mind of it's own. It wanted to drift into oncoming traffic everytime you went to shift. The horn would decide to blow at anytime on it's own. The truck felt like it had no suspension system on it at all! Nicknamed "The black beast", it was finally taken off the road.

I remember local police being called "County Mounties" in the 70's, but use the term "Bubble Gum Machine" these days and people will comment on how long it's been since they heard THAT one...
Virginia Troopers have blue lights on their cars, and I hear them called "Blue Light Specials" all the time...
Until I pulled my cobra out of the Taurus, I used to hear the same guy every morning going over the Hampton Bridge-Tunnel calling out "RABBIT IN THE HOLE!!!"

In my family the twin stick is refered to as a brownie. we still have a 1952 b model Mack with a 235 cummins and the old 5 and 4 trans. I started out in a 1973 pete with the 350 cummins and the brownie.
Here is one to make you think. My grandfather has his dads first logging truck, a 1929 mack. Don't know what the model (it is chain driven) is we are supposed to restore it one of these days. If you want a challenge to shift this is for you it has more levers and pulls than carter has pills.
