CB SLANG AND TECHNICAL TERMS[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1]1962-1998[/SIZE] [SIZE=-1](from the book "Woody's World Of CB")[/SIZE] [SIZE=+2]The list below represents just about every CB-ism you'll run across. Please keep in mind that if you jump on the air with a sentence full of slang words and phrases below you'll sound like an idiot. These are words that you'll run across throughout a variety of conversations, and it's helpful to know what they mean.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]My best advice I can give you is:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]1). Listen well before you speak, many parts of the country differ on their protocols and terminology.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]2). Always be polite[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]3). Minimize the "Slang". When you talk to someone on the radio, use it like you would a telephone with one added restraint - don't use profanity. It doesn't take a BIG man to swear, it's takes a BIG man to convey his thoughts and feelings WITHOUT swearing.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1]SWR - Standing Wave Ratio. An incorrect impedance match can cause some of the transmitted signal to "reflect" back to the transmitter, which can reduce your signal, and possibly damage the Finals section of your transmitter. While a good match (1:1) is desirable, anything under 2:1 is safe. In my opinion, if you have two identical stations, at the same location, with one station having an SWR reading of 1.2:1 and another at 1.7:1, a receiving station at the other end, wont see a noticeable difference between the two signals. Sometimes referred to in the plural sense (SWRS) which makes about as much sense as "We" (see WE in the "W" section).[/SIZE]

I have noticed that there is more slang than there is listed in this book. If you have anything that you know and is not listed, please feel free to share with the community!
Some in particular, like
The Keystone - Pennsylvania
The Badger - Wisconsin.
You can check out http://www.cbslang.com/cities-states/
If you want some knowledge on the slang you hear on the radio and have no clue what they are saying or asking.
Cheers!
