"Rodger That"

-
I hate this kind of stupidity. As a radio amateur, I also am annoyed by common CB lingo which has migrated to the amateur bands

"Do ya gotta good copy on me?" is not even good grammar.

Yeh I gotta good copy on ya

"On the side." The side of WHAT?

And I had someone on a local VHF repeater ask me "what was my first personal?"

I told him "Not sure it's any of your business but if you really need to know, about 8 inches."
 
The correct radio terminology is “Copy”.

Thought on the side was listening/monitoring but that was 50 years ago, copy that ? Lol
 
“Roger” was the phonetic for “R” in Morse code . It was short for “Received”, as in message has been received.
