A listener adds to our collection of slang used by RV enthusiasts. When she’s not in her sticks and bricks–that is, her brick-and-mortar home in Michigan–she’s driving around in her motor home chasing 70, which in the RV community means “trying to get to areas of the country where the temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “RV Slang: Chasing 70”
We got an email from Linda Bedine.
She’s one of those folks who travels around in an RV.
And she wrote, I enjoy your podcast immensely, listening as I drive around the country chasing 70.
All right, lay it out for me.
What are we talking about here?
Well, chasing 70, she says, is what full-time RVers do.
Driving around the country trying to get to areas that are 70 degrees.
Oh, okay.
I get that.
Although 72 is a little better, but I get it.
Well, Linda also says that when she’s not chasing 70, she’s in southeast Michigan in her sticks and bricks.
Oh, the home.
Yeah.
Sticks and bricks instead of on the road.
That’s cool.
Right, right.
So much RV language.
We’ll have to do more of that another time.
Let’s do it.
Whatever you do in your free time when you’re traveling to the country, I know there’s lingo attached to it.
I know you’ve got a personal internal glossary.
Well, spill it for us.
