If you’re on a CB radio, you might have heard the terms “Alligator Station” and “Bucket mouth.” While Jibber Jabber sounds pretty snarky, it actually refers to police officers who issue speeding tickets. A “Picture Taker” is a state trooper who monitors traffic with a radar gun. “Super Trooper” is a state police vehicle with additional antenna. And, you’ve probably heard the term “Linear lungs” from a CB user.

Despite its popularity, CB radios have been used by truck drivers, small businesses, and radio hobbyists since the 1960s. Thanks to advances in solid-state electronics, radios could become smaller and lighter, and the service became available to the public in the late 1960s. The service was soon gaining popularity, and the CB slang language developed along with it. In the United States, CB radios will be available on FM beginning in October 2021.
