    Default Trucker CB dialect question

    Just curious, what does Rubber ducky stand for???

    couldn't find it looking online, but some of those movies have quite amusing dialects.

    Do hilarious mothertruckers ever go off on the radio and make you laugh?

    i do believe "rubber ducky" was a c.b. handle (name) a driver chose for himself.....

    and NO.... hilarious mothertruckers DO NOT make me laugh. i usually turn off the radio when i hear them.

    and those were MOVIES.......things get all blown out of porportions to make you stay and watch. if mothertruckers were to do some of the stupid crap you see on those movies, the government would surely clamp down so hard on us it would be unbelievable..

    in essence, DO NOT BELIEVE everything you see on the "big screen".......

    in this day and age, professionalism is what's expected, not "mothertruckers".............

    the LAW and LAW ENFORCEMENT, DO NOT TAKE KINDLY to "mothertruckers and thier attitudes".........

    I don't care for the profanity or the homo stuff you hear but once in a great while you'll hear someone doing a funny "bit". Once while traveling I-57 near Gilman, Il I heard a fellow trying to sell some stuff on the CB, immediately another guy got on and in a perfect imitation of Mr Haney (Green Acres) started "selling" stuff too. It was pretty funny. Another time leaving Long Island a guy was on the radio trying to sell J.B. Hunt CB radios, claimed it was part of his pay and so on... it was amazing some guys actually fell for this. Too many times you hear the same 'ol crap. How many times have you heard the Monfort convoy story? I once had a guy try to tell me he was with old man Monfort in the infamous convoy..in the 90's! Uh huh....

    There was a woman on the radio at the Petro in Kingdom City, MO selling chihuahua puppies. I asked her if they were microwaveable or if they had to be slow cooked. A few guys laughed but she tore me apart on the radio.

    I thought it was funny.
    Not an accurate representation of sanity.

    I personaly only had the CB on to listen for warnings where the cops were or accidents etc, I usually ended up switching the bloody thing off, because a couple of motormouths following each other would jam the calling channel, & I would get sick of hearing what they had for dinner, how fast they could go, what an arsehole the boss was etc, you know it amazes me just how thick some people are, for Christ sake, there's 40 god damn channels, why can't they switch to another channel & dribble thier shyte there, but no they gotta waffle on & on the call channel, don't ya just feel like putting a gun up there rectums.
