In many countries, CB operation does not require a license, and unlike amateur radio it may be used for business or personal communications. Like many other land mobile radio services, multiple radios in a local area share a single frequency channel, but only one can transmit at a time. The radio is normally in receive mode to receive transmissions of other radios on the channel; when users want to talk they press a " push to talk " button on their radio, which turns on their transmitter.
CB slang is the distinctive anti-language , argot or cant which developed among users of Citizens Band radio CB , especially truck drivers in the United States during the s and early s. The slang itself is not only cyclical, but also geographical. Through time, certain terms are added or dropped as attitudes toward it change. For example, in the early days of the CB radio, the term "Good Buddy" was widely used. Nicknames given or adopted by CB radio users are known as "handles". CB and its distinctive language started in the United States but was then exported to other countries including Mexico , Germany and Canada. Also can be used to describe large grassy medians on highways. Example: There's a smokey doing flip flops around the pickle park. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Wikimedia list article.
