My dad was very into CB's, actually, he still uses his when he travels! Back in the day, (70's) he was known as Bluestreak, because of his blue truck, my mom was Bluebird, I was Bluejeans, and my sis was PoohBear. I learned the lingo and was able to hold my own with the best of them! Though, dad was quite protective seeing that I sounded much older than my young self and would get hit on! LOL Man I love talking on the CB, but I loved listening to the CB just as much. Dad liked to drive at night, so we'd leave for our trips at dark, I'd lay back and listen to the cb and how that cb "family" looked out for one another as you traveled through the night. Though I'd have to pretend to be asleep at times, because sometimes those good'ol boys could be pretty raunchy! hee hee I did learn some good dirty jokes thanks to the CB! LOL Thanks for the trip down memory lane!! Have a great weekend! <em><strong>Thanks, YR, sounds like your family was as hooked on those cb's as mine! I only wish I had remembered the term that Jessica the Rock Chick threw in: "Catch ya on the flip flop."~skt</strong></em> Gosh, talk about a flashback!!

We had neighbors who were into the cb and I think we might have had one. Smokey and the Bandit is one of the "classics" that my husband watches whenever it is on, so that might be where I learned some of the lingo. Today I had my bluetooth earpiece in my ear and was talking to #1 son while walking into Bestbuy with #3. Afterwards I realized how rude that was when my son told me that he was pretending to be talking to me so people wouldn't think I was crazy. I gotta tell you though, my parents have this wicked annoying habit of calling me on the phone, and then talking to each other while I am on the phone. Wouldn't be too bad, except their hearing isn't all that great, so there's a lot of repetition....I do like the face to face communication best. <em><strong>I know what you mean about the phone :lol:! My sister used to call, and was easily distracted by her child (or anything). You have a Bluetooth? I didn't peg you as a person with one, but I guess since you are so into technology it figures. ~skt</strong></em> I checked to see if anyone had translated, I knew a few of them.

We didn't have the radios at my house but a tiny bit of the slang made it's way to my home. I agree on the phone and the email pings. That drives me nuts when I'm visiting with someone and they can't get off the phone or computer. However, I must confess that when my phone rings I check to see who's calling to make sure it's not an emergency. I'll answer if it's the school or my hubby calling - but that's about it. I feel rude even checking caller ID when I'm with a friend but I'd hate to be unavailable if it WERE important. The thing I really feel I need to work on is not running to the computer every time I get a ding from the outside world while I'm here at home with my small children. I need to make sure that the courtesy I extend to friends is alive within my family. Thanks for the post. <em><strong>You are right, Alissa. We forget sometimes to extend that courtesy to our family as well. Thanks for visiting. I'm looking forward to some more pictures.

No one talks like that in Tribeca. This must be what all those illegal aliens speak. Hm-m-m-m. What language is this? No one talks like that in Tribeca.
