How do you get a CB "handle"? And CB slang questions

They call me "Turkey Sandwich" but not for the reason you would think.

 

Brother,Uncle and Cousins have been calling me FatBoy since I was born. Mom even called me a few names I can't mention on this forum... I guess having a 12# baby naturally...you'll have that sort of thing! As for the 70s lingo I agree with above check out Convoy!!

 

Have had my handle for near 40 years; and yup, it was given to me by two #### head OTR companions. Snow Walker was the result of my running an iced up corner in Kansas and ending up about 75 yards onto a snow covered field.

 

Why do you ask, Two dogs Farting?

 

From early.days and still today,fighter pilots get their nick names from a weird happening,funny last name,mistake ect ect ect....
One of mine as a kid was "scales" cause i was always at the pool..I was either lifeguarding,teaching or on speed swim team..
Sence i was in truckin school i was called "professor elmo"...The glasses i once wore gave me the image of intelligence(snickers)and i always loved elmo form sesame street...So my gal pal found a t shirt with elmo behind the wheel of a trk and thats how my handle got pinned on me...

So think along those line of something for yourself....
Use to have a cat that farted alot..Called him stank....lol
Dont do the pick your own name like "super trucker" or mr bad ### kinda bs....

 

One time I took a half frozen bird at a diner north of G'Burg and get it inside a box inside the warm cab with a peanut to eat on. (Cardinal type bird) it was about 20 outside and icing. It was covered in ice.

Taint take but 5 minutes ice goes off the bird, it wants out now. Open door and it's gone.

Radio lights up and one of our older drivers says " you are the "Bird man" now... and that was one of my handles. It's not much of one. But when someone gives you a handle you remember them for it.

We did not use handles too much on the radio, its usually company name and unit (Shippers and recievers and I think Space Port in Ohio for fueling info etc) However during our dump truck days when it's earplugs calling for raindrop (Boss...) the locals know #### well who we are referring to. There is only one raindrop. He will work all the day and the night too but should it cloud up and drop a single rain... that's it go home. =)

Earplugs is explaintory, Im deaf and use them to hear. We had a third who has since passed on, he was Snowball. Evidently he was drunken and ended up using a gigantic pile of leaves for protection from the snow and cold one night. Come morning there was about 6 inches on top of several feet of leaves above him. Presto Snowball. It saved his life potentially. But a heart defect killed him before he was able to enjoy his retirement. (Shoveling snow... tore it right out...) ah well...

 

My CB handle back in the day was golden eagle. Cause I loved eagles and the golden eagle was the rarest one and I said if I could comeback as an animal it would be a golden eagle

 

They used to call me “Crete” then one day they all stopped calling me that.

 

I tried many times to come up with a n off the wall, but yet super cool CB handle
To my surprise the best ones are given to you out of the blue

 

“They call me (comic book/movie action hero)”.

Yeah. Okay.

Third time you’re thru there in his 39-mile radius you’ve practiced your “get a CDL and see the country speech”. And someone else talks to him about joining the Navy. “Hell, man, go see the WORLD”.

ANYWHERE BUT HERE

No, he’d miss all his friends . . . . like y’all. Bestest friends ever.

Then someone makes fun of his lisp and it’s time for two hours of non-stop, lockemup ####### crazy.

(Been near Effingham lately? Don’t rile the troll).
