	More on Slang
		Slang is the non-standard use of words in a language of a particular social group, and sometimes the creation of new words or importation of words from another language.
		Slang is distinguished from jargon, the technical vocabulary of a particular profession, as jargon is (in theory) not used to exclude non-group members from the conversation, but rather deals with technical peculiarities of a given field which require a specialized vocabulary.
		Slang is always known for its vocabulary, but that doesn't mean that it follows the regular syntax, grammar, phonetics, pragmatics, etc. of the standard language.

	Allen Varney: Collect column (CB radio)
		Trucking is a hard life, but it has its romantic side: a brotherhood of independent loners in solidarity on the open road, using their wits and their CB radios to evade highway cops and bureaucratic regulation.
		Like the Fleer set, the Donruss stickers were backed with a dictionary of CB jargon; it has 23 parts, of which 21 were repeated.
		Meanwhile, the CB frequencies once more belong to their original users, the truckers, who are probably glad to have the airwaves to themselves again.

		I suspect that as other academics are now looking at Trucking CB languages, they will discover different terms, different pronunciations, and regional dialects.

		The CB radio is full of slang terms that don’t make much sense at first.
		Not all the women you hear on the CB are as beautiful as they sound…a lot of the women who want to talk to you so much are not drivers.
		There are literally hundreds of other kinds, but if you're a novice to the CB thing, you will want to start out with a radio that's relatively inexpensive and easy to transport and tune.

		Six months later, March fourth, marks the only date of the year to earn a name as a call to action: "March forth!" On March tenth, men named Mario can finish their march with a rally celebrating Mario Day.

	The Mavens' Word of the Day
		While checking the Web for CB slang, I saw that several entries for "handle" say this term for "pseudonym," which is now used in the online community, originated with CB slang.
		Still in the middle of the nineteenth century, the word handle was applied to any name--a given name, a surname, a nickname--and it appeared on its own, not merely in the phrase "handle to one's name." All of these uses have been current for well over a hundred years.
		As for the use of handle to mean specifically 'a usually imaginative nickname adopted by the operator of a CB radio', well, yes, that does date from the CB era of the 1970s.

		This sequel to the movie that gave the 1970s its obsession with CB slang (and which inspired _The Dukes of Hazzard_ and therefore the entire existence of The Nashville Network) stars Burt Reynolds, returning as the only character he's going to be remembered for.
		As you may recall, in the original _Smokey and the Bandit_, Reynolds was a hard-drinkin' fast-drivin' good ol' boy, carrying the dubious honor of being able to outrun state police better than anyone.
		Suddenly, two white-clad moonshine dealers (or drug dealers or fl-market goods dealers) popped out of nowhere and offered the Bandit (Reynolds) a buttload of money if he'd be willing to break his previous speed records with their latest haul.
