k-whopper
What does k-whopper mean?
Affectionate CB-radio nickname for a Kenworth truck — usually the long-nose W900, the chrome-fronted American icon. Kenworth drivers tend to be loyalists, and the K-Whopper has a near-mythic status in owner-operator culture: expensive, beautiful, holds its resale value, and looks right doing anything.
"He just bought a brand new K-Whopper W900 — all chrome, fully loaded."
Origin
