   I learned some of it because my uncle was a truck driver and, when I was   
   young, there were a lot of pop culture references in the US about truckers (a   
   hit TV show about a trucker and his pet monkey, a hit song about a truck   
   convoy, etc.).   I do not remember much of it now, except that:   
      
   10-4 is over and out   
   10-20 is location (as in "what is your 10-20"?)   
      
   IIRC some of the other lingo I learned:   
      
   chicken coop - a highway rest area   
   bears - the police (and maybe more specifically, the state highway patrol)   
      
   That is about it.  :)
