In truck driver lingo what is being said in the following phrase?

"That lot lizzard just crawled out of that cab over combine, at the hook, over in K-Town"

[coiled2strike]

"lot lizard" is a term for prostitutes that hang around truck stop parking lots...

[PPHSfan]

You must translate the entire phrase.

[coiled2strike]

cab over is a type of truck where the cab is over the engine, flat front, snub nose...
no idea where k-town is

[LogieJoeBean001]

Originally posted by sinfan75
I didn't think any of ya'll would figure it out. The "cows cock" is the back side of the hook on a block. The "dog knot" is a valve that is on the drillin kelly.

I'm just now looking but no fair, my husband worked in the oilfield as a roughneck for more than 20 years. He's just not here for me to ask right now, darn it!

[PPHSfan]

Well you don't win then.:D

You can't just make shots in the dark. You have to translate the entire quote.

[PPHSfan]

HInt:

Cab over translates to "Cab Over" it is the combine part that changes in translation.

[PPHSfan]

Too tough?

I know there has got to be a trucker out there somewhere.

The prostitute in question removed herself from a flat nosed truck with the engine located under the driver compartment, made by International Harvester. This happened at the Flying J truck stop in Kansas City Mo.

That is close enough. Most truckers refer to Knoxville TN as K-Town. But the rest is right on. I will give it to you for the extra effort.:D
