Do you listen to our show on an alligator radio? We’re guessing not, since this bit of trucker slang refers to the CB radios that transmit a strong signal but are terrible for receiving. Like an alligator, they’re all mouth and no ears. This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Alligator Radio”
Grant, have you ever heard of alligator radio?
No, I haven’t.
That’s a trucker slang thing again.
It is indeed.
It’s a CB radio that transmits a strong signal but is very, very bad at receiving signals.
So they call it that because it’s all mouth and no ears.
Oh, like an alligator.
Alligator radio.
But we are not alligator radio. Here we’re more like little bunnies with big ears tuned to your questions.
So call us 877-929-9673.
