Colorful Language Of American Truckers
Colorful Language Of American Truckers
August 29, 2006

Quote:
"The sun never sets on the languages spoken by the American truck driver,"

Those strips of truck tire you see on the road, for instance, are called "gators." Mile markers on the interstate are "lollipops," a "speedo" is a speeding ticket, and a truck that has "grossed out" is flirting with the legal weight limit. The bib overalls favored by some truckers are "Idaho tuxedos."
