While I was home over Thanksgiving, I was rummaging through my mom's house for treasures. I found some golden items, like a picture book/children's storybook of "The Day I Won the Belt" by Hulk Hogan, and a totally rad reference book called "The All-New Fact-Packed 1977/78 CB Guide".

Includes such interesting information as:

  • The latest CB activities, equipment, buyer's guide, slang dictionary, and repair and maintenance
  • Special section of new ideas for CB use
  • CB Games: Five original, exciting, fast-action games you can play on the air
  • All the new official FCC rule changes concerning CLASS D EXPANSION from 23 to 40 channels!!!

Of course, I am mainly concerned with the slang dictionary. And although I'm sure this is probably already available elsewhere on the internet, I went ahead and typed this in from scratch. I hereby announce and explain all the CB 10-codes for you to use in your day-to-day life. Phrases I deem to be particularly worthy are noted in bold:
