CB slang is the anti-language, argot, or cant which developed among users of Citizens Band radio (CB), especially truck drivers in the United States during the 1970s and early 1980s,[1] when it was an important part of the culture of the trucking industry.

Nicknames or call signs given or adopted by CB radio users are known as "handles".[2][3] Many truck drivers will call each other "Hand,"[4] or by the name of the company for which they drive.[citation needed]

CB and its associated slang emerged in the United States but were then exported to other countries including Mexico, Germany, and Canada.
