What’s your 20?

OK, so today is national "Talk like a Trucker Day"! You know, since today is 10-4. Do you copy?

What are some trucker sayings you could use? Shit, I dunno. Breaker 1-9. Back off the hammer, good buddy. You'll be coming up on a brown paper bag soon. Check out some more CB Slang.

Or, you could just wear your hat sideways. Or is it just wanna-be trendy folk who do that?

dude, you had me going. that's actually brilliant. because it's 10-4. teehee.
I fell for it...and why not? There's a day set aside to talk like a pirate...why not a trucker?
I fell for it too for a little bit. It was very creative. Besides, yesterday was National Orgasm Day! Why not have a "Talk Like a Trucker Day?"
DAMIT, I missed National Orgasm Day! Where was I???

I think there should be "Talk like a porn star day", "Talk like a caveman" day and even better "Talk like a sportscaster day", but then again, I guess if you had "Talk like a porn star" day, all that would happen is people moaning.
You never know, there could be a "Talk like a trucker" day... I just passed a "happy corn hole day" sign in someone's yard on my way home from work.
After reading this post I had to wonder, how does one get something named as national "whatever day"? I mean we have things like fly a kite day, hamburger day and everything else under the sun - who do you go to? What are the rules for it to pass?
Gouge on it:
Speed up. "Gouge on it, they need that report by 10."

p.s. thanks for the help at BT
Ok, so at my last job, we used radios. And instead of saying, "where are you?" we'd say, "what's your 20?" (like your title). I don't work there anymore, but if I call someone that I used to work with, I always, always, always say, "what's your 20?" SO! Everyday is "Talk Like a Trucker Day" for me! Huzzah!
The only way I remember that today is my nephew's birthday is because it is "10-4". Why not have a talk like a trucker day? You've got to come up with something cool. Then you'll be more famous than you already are!
damn, 10/4 must be "michelle day" or sumthin'...lol
anyway, did i hear a "niner" in there? btw, where i live, there is actually a festival going on this coming week called "corn school". i fondly refer to it as "corn hole", but i digress...
we used to have a CB and talk to truckers on the way to see grandma (18 hour trip). they loved it, and so did we.

"hey freak, you got your ears on? 10-4 good buddy."

hell, trucker talk was also for walkie talkies and playtime. heh.

hello, my name is becky and i grew up in the south in a poor white trash area. we played truckers for entertainment and watched the dukes of hazzard. yeeee haw!
for the record we no longer say "Good Buddy". mainly because since about the mid 80's "Good Buddy" means a homosexual looking for some one to "Play" with. when one trucker talks to another trucker we either call them Hand, or Driver. If you spend most of your day shifting and trying to get into the left lane, you might be a truck driver. truck drivers unfortunetly ahve a very bad public image, most people assume, wrongly, that all truckers are perverted scum bags that do drugs, break the law, and hate christains. This is simply not true. 90% of the truckers I ahve met in the last 5 years have been hard working law abiding middle class working joes that happen to be christain. it is rather rare to meet a non-christain in the cab of a truck. I am one of the few pagan truckers that I know of. Sure, I speed once in a while, but I hardly ever cheat my log book, and I don't dodge scales. there is no point anymore if the cargo is loaded properly. Sure, I'm a pervert, but that has nothing to do with trucking, and more todo with I was raised by a pervert so that is how I veiw the world around me.
I live in the cold north village of Barrow,Alaska. I was raised by parents who did not drink...who are God-fearing Christians...who nurtured us and made sure we were dressed warm and had food to eat. Times were hard...we survived without money for years. In the early Sixties the Navy came with jobs, liquor, and drugs. It affected everyone in the village..even me. I did it all until I nearly killed my two-year old son while riding a snowmobile home from a party. I am born-again now and have had my sins forgiven and all the generational curses cast out, but my son is starting to drink. I plead the blood of Christ over him every day. Please pray for him." Inilluk. "..the Lord heard my cry. He drew me up from the desolate pit... and set my feet upon a rock.
