Trucker's nick name for various thing on the road

You may be discreet in public but when its just all women.......Worked in a factory once where there were 65 employees. 2 of us were male and the other one was the boss. Thats where I learned the difference in how men and women talk. Men talk in generalities, women give blow by blow descriptions. Course it could have been that they were just trying their best to embarrass me and have to admit that they succeded quite a few times.

Now that's one I haven't heard in a long time... LMAO Always gets me when I hear that...

 

Mexican Car Haulers: That's what they are. Usually a bunch 'em 4 wheelers running together with another 4 wheeler in tow using the old 70's hook ups for break lights heading straight for the border. They'll drive 50mph with all their lights on until you decide you are passing then they scatter and regroup to speed past you and slow down to 50 mph again especially in fog.

Troll-Under-The-Bridge: the visible smokey bear pretending to take pictures after you've already been caught speeding by the one in the bush that no one can see unless they get lucky (or unlucky). One of the sly techniques they use knowing how well we communicate on the CB. Named after the fable of the same name that exacts tolls on the unwary for going under his bridge.

Tag Team or Yogi and Boo-Boo Act: Two Smokies hitting a stretch of highway hard and furiously with as much noise and disco as possible. It's like in fake wrestling with all the pomp and flare while tagging in and out. It's mostly for show to discourage or make us think twice before upsetting their territory, but sometimes also just a training outfit with a seasoned vet and a rookie.

Good Buddy: Referring to a person of the non-heterosexual persuasion and not the cute little doll possessed by a murder in Child's Play.

CB Rambo/Radio Rambo: That one guy who drives for Navajo that won't stop talking tuff on the CB and get on with the driving. He's got self righteous footage of himself on YouTube, but the name actually came about long before he appropriated it for himself.

Phagh Lights: Driving with the fog lights on when there isn't any fog. Good buddy "commercial" advertising. Like moths to a bright source enshrouded in darkness they are drawn.
