History behind the term 'Cb'

1975

Introduction of CB radios

CB stands for Citizens Band. In 1975, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States introduced the Citizens Band radio service, allowing citizens to communicate with each other over short distances using designated frequencies. CB radios quickly gained popularity due to their affordability and simplicity of use. They became a common means of communication for truckers, hobbyists, and rural residents.

1976

Breaker, breaker - CB radio slang

With the rise of CB radios, a unique and vibrant slang culture emerged among CB radio users. 'Breaker, breaker' was a common phrase used to initiate communication, signaling that a user wanted to 'break into' an ongoing conversation. This distinctive CB radio slang added an element of excitement and camaraderie to the CB radio community.

1977

10-4, good buddy - Widely recognized CB phrase

The phrase '10-4, good buddy' became one of the most recognized and iconic CB radio phrases. '10-4' was CB radio code for 'message received and understood,' while 'good buddy' was a colloquial term used to refer to another CB radio user. This phrase gained popularity through its usage in movies, songs, and TV shows, further cementing its place in popular culture.

1978

Convoy - CB radio in mainstream media

'Convoy,' a hit song by C.W. McCall, was released in 1975 and became an anthem for the CB radio subculture. It depicted a fictional cross-country trucker convoy using CB radios to communicate and avoid law enforcement. The song's popularity inspired a movie of the same name in 1978, further propelling CB radio and its associated terms into the mainstream.

1980s

CB radio decline and lasting impact

By the 1980s, CB radio's popularity began to decline as other forms of communication, such as cellular phones, gained prominence. However, the legacy of CB radio and its unique terms remained. The slang phrases and codes used in CB radio culture had a lasting impact on popular language, with many terms integrating into everyday speech. The nostalgia for the CB radio era still thrives among a dedicated group of enthusiasts today.
