[cb lingo yo]

amongst the very, very important things i have to do, is to become absolutely fluent at cb lingo. what's cb lingo? well an easy way to explain it, would be to say, "trucker's code"... a language of phrases stated in "10 code" or by using other weird words like "echo, bravo, foxtrot".. etc. etc. or to state properly;
"Ten-codes, properly known as ten signals, are code words used to represent common phrases in voice communication, particularly by law enforcement and in Citizen's Band (CB) radio transmissions."

10 code; 

the list for 10 code is pretty long, going all the way up to the hundreds. for example a 10-200, would mean nothing other than "dropping the kids off at the pool", but here is a list of the most used 10-code;

now here's the NATO Phonetic Alphabet. 

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu

umm... note that "w" is "whiskey". talk about fucking awesome.. probably the only time i ever wished my first name started with a "w" and my last name started with a "p", so my code name or "handle" could be "whiskey papa".. hells ya. well, we all can't be that lucky. i do nothing with these letters, except awesome shit like, figuring out "handle's" for people and myself, because that's the proper thing to do, which such knowledge. in case you haven't put it together yet, slick, your code name is the first letter of your first and last name. i'm Papa Lima.  my roommate probably has the best one, Papa Kilo.  the other night when i was at my friend julie's house.., i was quietly deciphering code names.. i realized that, julie's is juliet. that's not a code name, man. that's "julie" with a "t" on the end of it. oh well, that's the crazy ways of the phonetic alphabet.

now, let's get down and dirty, with the straight up "trucker cb lingo". this shit is my favorite and i vow to be fluent in it some day in the not so distant future. check out this list of some of them;

"Bear" – a law officer. The terms "Smokey" & "Bear" are both direct references to Smokey Bear, a character image commonly seen along U.S. highways. He wears a flat-brimmed forest ranger's hat very similar to the hat included in many highway patrol uniforms in the U.S.
"Bear Cave" / "Bear's Den" / "Bear's Lair" – a police station.
"Bear / Smokey in a plain brown wrapper" – a law officer in an unmarked police car. The term "plain white wrapper" is sometimes used, depending on the color of the vehicle.
"Bear in the air" / "Fly in the sky" / "Spy in the sky" – a police aircraft. While state police often use fixed-wing airplanes to monitor highway traffic, "fly" refers specifically to a helicopter.
"Bear in the grass" / "Smokey in the bush" – a speed trap.
"Bear with ears" – a police officer listening to others on the CB
"Blue Light" / "Blue Light Special" – a law enforcement vehicle, especially with a stopped motorist.
"Chicken coop" – a weigh station. "Locked up" / "clean" (ex: "the chicken coop is clean.") means the station is closed.
"City Kitty" / "City Bear" - Refers to local law enforcement monitoring a particular stretch of interstate which runs through their jurisdiction.
"Convoy" - a group of 3 or more truckers in a line, usually exceeding the speed limit.
"County Mountie" – a Sheriff's deputy car.
"Diesel Cop" / "D.O.T. Bear" – State Department of Transportation personnel, usually enforcing weight limits and safety rules ( brakes & tires).
"Disco Lights" – the flashing emergency lights of a law enforcement vehicle.
"Evel Knievel" – cop on a motorcycle.
"Full-Grown" / "Full Grown Bear" – a state policeman/trooper.
"Gum ball machine" / "bubble gum machine" – refers to a popular style of rotating mirror light used by many state police and some other law enforcement agencies at the time, however the term can refer to any law enforcement vehicle. It looked somewhat like the round style of 'penny' gumball machines. It was basically a clear cylinder, like an upside down jar, with lights and a spinning mirror system inside. It was usually mounted on the center of the roof.
"Hacker" – person or individual operating a radio transmission without regard for standard rules or etiquette.
"Leo" – short for Law Enforcement Officer
"Local yokel" / "City Kitty" / "Town Clown" – a law officer with a city or township police force, seldom encountered on interstate highways.
"Mama Bear" – a female law enforcement officer.
"Miss Piggy" – a pejorative term for a female law enforcement officer.
"Picture-taker" / "Smokey taking pictures" / "Smokey bear is taking a picture" / "Kojak with a Kodak" – a law officer monitoring traffic with a radar gun. Today, this can also refer to an automated speed camera.
"Radio Car" / "Super Trooper" - Either a marked or unmarked state trooper vehicle sporting additional antenna on the trunk or sides of the vehicle.
"Smokey" – a law officer. A "smokey report" is what CB users say when they have information on a law officer, such as location or current activities.
"Plain brown wrapper"-an unmarked highway patrol car- no emblems or lights on top, of any color, although the generic "brown" may be changed to the actual color of car, example - "plain black wrapper"
