If only the font were a little bit BIGGER....

Indeed.

Saw that truck on Sunday in the Sepulveda Pass on the 405 when Faith was driving my mitten-challenged self to A Mano Yarn Shop. That font was big enough to be visible from space! It was not satisfying enough for me to only snap a picture, though. I needed to see the face of the man who was driving a big ol' pickup truck with "HONK FOR BADONKADONK" emblazoned across the window.

Closer...

Closer... and HONK!!!!!! We honked and he flashed us the peace sign. Apparently "badonkadonk" means "peace out" in his lingo.

But alas, the open road calls ... he's off to spread his message of peace, love and badonkadonkdom to the world!

OK now I can write :)
Hi Laurie! Can you please move to Europe so I don't have to wait until 6PM for your post? Please? I'll bake you a cake?
:P

So, being a menopausal Montana woman, I had no idea what a badonkadonk is. Imagine my surprise:

ba-donka-donk: An ‘ebonic’ expression for an extremely curvaceous female behind. Women who possess this feature usually have a small waist that violently explodes into round and juicy posterior (e.g., 34c, 24, 38). Other characteristics would be moderately wide hips and a large amount of booty cleavage (i.e, depth of butt-crack).

(from Urban dictionary, found by googling, and pictures omitted!)

So, my next question is, why would somebody put that on their truck? Is the truck badonkadonk?

Just wondering . . . .

And, I meant to add, thanks for the "word a day" for Tuesday! I'm trying to figure out how I'll use it in a sentence today!

Posted by: Judy in MT at June 24, 2008 08:45 AM

you got nothin' but classy folks out there!

Posted by: suetreiber at June 24, 2008 08:46 AM

I think that guy may be related to my ex.

That moron paid a fortune for his truck, another fortune adding crap to it (why yes, yes he was making up for other... inadequacies) and then had a sign guy put:

Got Mud?
[upside down] If you can read this, please roll me over [/upside down]
4X4

and not on the windows or bumper... on the paint.

what a tool he was/is/wanted to be?

Have a good day. Here in the world of high finance, all is... nerve wracking.

btw, we have a Corgi, a Pemmy. There are pics at my blog. She's a tri-colour and the most fantastic dog EVER. So somehow we're related. Maybe. or not.

Good grief! Now I have that awful song stuck in my head! ;-)

Posted by: Nancy Knits at June 24, 2008 09:09 AM

Judy, thanks for answering my question before I had to ask it!

TS: did he have some of those fake testicles hanging from the hitch?

This makes me think of my very favorite commerical where the lady leans across the guy and orders at the drive thru "I'll have the badonkadonk butt and a side of thunder thighs, please."

Posted by: Kearsie at June 24, 2008 09:17 AM

Uhm, it's a C&W Song. Trace Adkins', "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk," and here is a link to the youtube video of Trace doin' his thang:

It's a fun shake your thang song if you like that country twang. And, honey, if you got some groove then you got badonkadonk.

That's just hilarious!

Posted by: Jackie at June 24, 2008 09:20 AM

Brat

LOL! omg no.

But I haven't seen him in two years, so maybe!

Kearsie

I love that commercial!

Posted by: TS at June 24, 2008 09:39 AM

I actually was sitting in my car when I got back from lunch, singing along with that song until it was over! I love it -- that's one of those "always makes me smile" kind of songs...

Posted by: MaryB in Richmond at June 24, 2008 09:41 AM

Hi-frickin'-larious. That's just awesome. I laughed out loud while reading this post.

Posted by: Jodi at June 24, 2008 09:47 AM

I love me some Trace Adkins! Obviously this guy does, too -- or at least that one kickin' song. :)

This is why my CDs didn't get stolen when someone broke into my car. There just aren't as many country music fans out "in the wild" as there used to be in the West. :)

This reminds me of one of my favorite jokes:

Q: How are HumVees anatomically correct?

A: There's always an asshole in them.

Posted by: rb at June 24, 2008 09:59 AM

It's from a country song that Trace Adkins sings. And boy is he HOT!

Posted by: Beth at June 24, 2008 10:08 AM

Aside from the very funny truck banner thing - what a cool highway. It looks as if you are driving on the side of a mountain! I think of LA as buildings and highways...that looks cool (or I guess 'hot').

Posted by: cecelia at June 24, 2008 10:09 AM

Hmmm. i was kind of wondering if/worried that you were going to see badonkadonk if you honked . . . glad that wasn't the case!

i once had to explain the term "badonkadonk" (thanks to that Trace Adkins song) to a table full of my Wasband's (was husband)relatives. Talk about uncomfortable. WHY did they ask ME? There were teenage cousins!!!

Posted by: Megs at June 24, 2008 10:11 AM

Ah ha ha! I was going to ask if you see the fake testicles around there, Laurie! But I see another commenter has mentioned them already. :) I'd love to hear what folks think of them - they make me laugh in a "oh god how desperate are you?" kind of way. Others I know are actually outright offended and *threatened* by them - I just don't get that.

Posted by: camelama at June 24, 2008 10:18 AM

Oh how I miss SoCal!!

Posted by: MX at June 24, 2008 10:41 AM

I'm gonna need that license plate number. He may be the one!

Posted by: Nell at June 24, 2008 10:53 AM

The guy down the street from me not only has the faux balls on his truck, but also on the 4 wheeler AND lawn mower. I feel very bad for his fiance'! He's def trying to make up for...something.

Posted by: Angie at June 24, 2008 11:06 AM

wait wait wait. Why are the cars on the other side of the double yellow line going the same way as you?? Are traffic laws really that different in California?

Posted by: Azar at June 24, 2008 11:10 AM

And: Wasband? Love it! When I finally get tired of refering to the ex as "The Jackass", I will call him wasband. Thanks!

Posted by: Angie at June 24, 2008 11:11 AM

Ye Gods....someone reassure me this man is incapable of breeding......

Posted by: Tracy at June 24, 2008 11:26 AM

Azar, that is the carpool lane. It has double yellow lines to prevent people from entering except in designated areas.

Posted by: Laurie at June 24, 2008 11:29 AM

Damn, does it mean I have to go all the way to LA to find a classy, catch like that? Really could you imagine being his wife or girlfriend?

Posted by: Sarah at June 24, 2008 11:32 AM

That makes sense. We have the concrete dividers to designate ours. I don't think anyone would pay attention to the lines.

Posted by: Azar at June 24, 2008 11:36 AM

I sorta like "if you can read this, please roll me over." We have "honk if you can read this" in Latin.

I had no idea what badonkadonk was.

Posted by: Lucia at June 24, 2008 11:42 AM

Go listen to Trace Atkins Honkytonk Badonkadonk. You'll have no doubt as to the reference after listening to it.

Hehe.

Posted by: Tiny Tyrant at June 24, 2008 11:55 AM

That's Badonkadelightful!

Posted by: Anonymous at June 24, 2008 11:57 AM

Ugh.

Posted by: Susan at June 24, 2008 12:05 PM

What a delightful example of the well-bred, intelligent young men we find here in Southern California.

Posted by: Andree at June 24, 2008 12:35 PM

That's awesome. Maybe it's his girlfriend's truck?

And I just saw my *first* set of fake testicles on the hitch the other day, and I've been living in Texas a looooong time. Good to know it's a widespread problem :)

Posted by: Anonymous at June 24, 2008 12:36 PM

Wasband...thank you for that, much better than The Dickhead.

Posted by: Corrine at June 24, 2008 02:11 PM

Oh I don't know Corrine, The Dickhead is probably more accurate for most.

As for the ballsy trucks, we see them all the time here in East Texas. Yuck. I'm just glad my kids haven't noticed or if they have they've just assumed it was part of a towing thingamajig.

Oh Laurie, I found something else for your fun quota. Look on youtube for French and Saunders(that would be Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders). They do some pretty funny spoofs on various things, the Madonna/Brit song for one.

Molly

Posted by: Molly at June 24, 2008 02:58 PM

Molly: I don't even give him the benefit of "head" he's just a dick (and yes his name was richard). But Wasband is for polite company I guess.

I'd wear out my horn on my badonkadonk.

Posted by: Marilyn at June 24, 2008 03:12 PM

Google tells all. If you type in:

define: (some word)

into Google, it will give you definitions from all over the interwebs. So:

define: badonkadonk

Gave much the same response (but mercifully no graphics) as offered by Judy in MT. Yay Goog!

Posted by: Wendy at June 24, 2008 04:16 PM

Wasband. Am so using that.

And I didn't know what badankadonk was either. I live such a sheltered life, apparently.

That's why I read this blog. It is informative. Way more informative than your typical newscast.

Posted by: Sandy at June 24, 2008 04:42 PM

Mmmm. You know. Trace Atkins. Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.

Posted by: Malena at June 24, 2008 08:32 PM

Holy crap. I just saw that guy while driving in Westwood today. Crazy coincidence!

Posted by: Diane at June 24, 2008 09:30 PM

Glad I also now know what badonkadonk means. But I'm wondering if the guy is referencing his own physique now. Scary.

In relation to yesterday's question about DPNS - the number of needles doesn't bother me. I just always get a gap between the beginning and the end of the first row (a long string - even when I try to tighten the stitches). After that it is ok though - no laddering or whatever. And I end up knitting inside out. No matter what I do and what advice I follow it's always the same. Argh!

Posted by: Melissa at June 25, 2008 12:43 AM

To funny!


I want some Badonkadonk here in Atlanta

Posted by: Debbie at June 25, 2008 04:30 AM

I've seen worse things on the back of a truck.

Posted by: Wendy at June 25, 2008 04:40 AM

Badonkadonk. On the rear window of his truck. All he's missing is the huge American flag. Sexxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyy!!!!

Male reproductive organs on the hitch? Why do I think I've seen it before and never realized what it was?

Posted by: Carrie at June 25, 2008 05:51 AM

It is sort of catchy...I'm finding myself thinking a Badonkadonk might be sort of fun. I love saying it to myself while writing this. I didn't see the truck balls on his truck, but have seen them before and in fact they were blue. Figures.

Posted by: AmberStar at June 25, 2008 07:32 AM

It's a fine day (and a fine Blog) when the comments are almost as funny as the post! My DH has always said he doesn't want any kind of bumper stickers, anything that would make the car stand out. Then he put the Royal Arms of King Louis XV on both cars. And the Grateful Dead dancing bears (clear ones on the back window) on mine. But he wouldn't let me put my "I support the right to arm bears" on......

I love Google http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=badonkadonk

Posted by: Lynn at June 25, 2008 08:42 AM

Thanks for the double yellow line clarification, I was a little perplexed and scared at first glance. BTW, how do you know you don't look good in prison-issue orange... is there something you're not telling us??? Hmmmm????

Posted by: garden_chicken at June 25, 2008 11:16 AM

That is too funny! I'm not sure if I qualify as having a badonkadonk, but I would have honked too!

Posted by: claudia at June 25, 2008 04:54 PM

That is so funny! Thanks for the utube link. That song is hIlarious!
We see a ton of those truck nuts in Texas. I just ordered some to put on my neighbors truck as a joke. He once put some naked lady seat covers on my husbands car. My hubby is sooooooo conservative and it was very funny!
Thanks for making us laugh!
