Is that some sort of 2 meter lingo?
Yup! The stupidest thing I hear. It's a CW abbreviation for laughing!
Just f'ing laugh if you say something funny. The guy that always says
that doesn't even know code and he always uses the same script.

I'd give him grief, but he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, and
he genuinely wants to be helpful, helps the old folks and all.
He means well, so I leave him be.

Good to go with the hi hi then, rock on I suppose. Two meters is a retard
band tho, especially when it's cross-posted to rrcb. Those asshats wash my
cars.

2 meter simplex can sound a lot like CB. Repeaters are way too stuffy.
Now 440 only repeaters are a different story. Whole 'nother crowd.
I guess 6 meters will have a different crowd. That's the only neat
thing ham radio has going for it, if you don't like one band, just
go to another. CB is just another band of frequencies and a group
of folks that use it. Each band is unique.

I've never said one has to abandon CB for HAM or vise-versa.

No one group has the market cornered on stupidity!
