With 20 acres to roam, and the oldest girl having just turned 9 years old, I just bought a set of decent walkie talkies. I'm not quite ready for them to have "real phones."
We're comin up with our respective handles. And I'm teaching them CB speak.
Running through this list I found a ton of funny ones I've never heard.
ENJOY!
Time to dust off the C.W. McCall records.

I’ve been using Rolling Roadblock and Roger Ramjet since around 1975.
My dad bought a Radio Shack CB radio back in the day and you had to apply for a CB license with the FCC. He mailed it in along with a few million others and a license was all of a sudden not required.
In the late 90's some kid at work illegally tuned it up to reach farther and I would piss off truckers if they were next to me as I blew out their radio. Then she died....
Xm-20431, iirc.
Break 19, Mr Speed is asking for a smokey report.
That is a very long time ago.
Negatory on the cost o this here mosheen, there Red Rider.
My old man was an over the road trucker. Picked up a lot of the lingo.
getting your stack polished - what lot lizards do
dispatcher brains - empty trailer
sailboat fuel - see above
jewelry - tire chains
I was a trucker for quite a few years as well. There are plenty more nsfw
Is "exquisite hand whammy" trucker slang?
DO NOT Google that and click images. (just a guess)
Let me see if I can find my Gene Tracy tapes
I liked the "Evil Knievel" for "bike cop."
Side note, slightly related...
I happened to recently drive by the ole Drive-In Movie Theater out in the country, one county over from me. On the marque was that week's features of:
Down the road from my MIL is a guy with a restomod '78 Bandit Trans Am. I envisioned going to Smokey and the Bandit in a Bandit Trans Am. Actually they should reserve and entire row for Trans Am parking only.
CB saved me from tickets in the days of the double nickle. Plus provided entertainment while driving. What's not to like?
My cousin and I used my grandparents' base station a lot as kids. Didn't have an actual CB antenna, but we figured an antenna was an antenna, and we Jerry rigged a roof top TV antenna to the thing. We were in central AR and there were half a dozen or more times, we caught the weather right, and skipped signal to talk to shrimp boats in Gulf.
We mostly just annoyed truck drivers. Walmart truckers always seemed the nicest and willing to chat to kids. Hmm, that seems a little off, after reading it. I don't recall anything creepy, just nice folks.
My first 2-1/2 years of college, I-40 in western AR was constantly under construction, and school was 3 hours from my family, through I-40 construction. I had a CB in my Jeep and used it about as much as the radio.
My dad usually had one on road trips when I was kid. I've got the dual band ham and FRS set in my truck now and I keep thinking about adding a CB. Mostly I use it as an insurance policy when adventuring solo which makes the 2m logical but I miss the open forum you get on the highways with CB. The Bandit is my hero.
plus most of the Jeepers around here are still stuck on CB
btw Convoy is on streaming somewhere. Prime I think.
I just want to say that the expression "dispatcher brains" has made my week.
Obviously I'm "Snowman." 6-year-old randomly selected "Reindeer" Waitin on the 9-year-old. I suggested "Booger" but she's not feelin it.

"Hyyy-ahhh! And wax shot out both of his ears."
Wasn't sure if anybody would get the reference 
In reply to Peabody :
It is entirely possible we are showing our age. And maybe the culture we were born into.
Don't worry, your secret's safe with me
CB radio = redneck internet.
I didn't see "Put the hammer down, good buddy"
