"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."

Thought on the side was listening/monitoring but that was 50 years ago, copy that ? Lol
 
Think it comes from the military side of things. Roger (acknowledgement), That (what was just said), basically saying you understand and will act on what you were just told.

Personally the phrase annoys me, when I hear it I tell them I don’t know Roger or what “that” is..
 
We used “Affirm” or “Copy”. Not allowed to say Roger in military OR firefighting.

Roger. It seems like fighter pilot talk.
 
Well the Teams are like Airdales, the Navy band and Corpsman in that they do things their own way. They’ve adapted to what works best for them. Still pissed about all that training I had to go through thanks to Tail Hook!
