heres some CB Lingo, i think, but may be wrong as it was a few years ago.
1-4 1-4 for a copy, (any one want to speak to me on channel 14)
1-9 1-9 for a copy, (any one want to speak to me on channel 19)
10-20 - where are you?
10-1 Poor Reception
10-4 OK, Message Received
10-6 Busy, Occupied
10-9 Repeat what was just said
10-10 Message Complete (Also used to say goodbye)
10-13 Traffic Report
10-36 The Correct Time
Eyeball : Meeting another CB user
whats your handle : CB name
Lady Breaker : Female CB User

may day may day (help)
In addition to Wispy's link

Lanes of a motorway in order 1 to 3 are "Granny Lane", "Sandwich Lane", "Suicide Lane"

Roadworks "Pick and Shovel"

Accident "Fender Bender"

Emergency vehicle with blue lights on "advertising" as in an ambulance is " a meat wagon and hes advertising"


"Over and out" is used only by bad scriptwriters. In the real radio world it is a contradiction in terms.
"Over" is short for "Over to you" and is used on a single-channel link to mean "I've finished talking for now. Your turn". "Out" means "I've finished altogether and am closing down".
Kujawski forgot the most important "10-code"

10-7 = going on a nature break !
