Nobody knows where the teddy bear goes – State troopers criss-crossing the freeway

Numbers – Best wishes. “3’s and 8’s”

O

On the side – Standing by, available for a call, listening on frequency. O.M. (old man) – A CB’er

On a [insert city name] Turn – i.e.- “I’m on an Alamo turn” (I’ll make my return from San Antonio).

One foot on the floor, one hanging out the door, and she just won’t do no more – Full speed.
