> [@Purebred](#): > > Reeb? Please explain Some people playfully refer to b-e-e-r as “reeb”. (It’s pretty amazing to me that the forum’s new censoring algorithm apparently thinks that b-e-e-r is… obscene.) ---

I used Google and when it showed reeb as a slang for b e e r all I could think of was that makes no sense at all. ---

> [@Robert-Gift](#): > > Turn signal every turn and lane change and **only 4 mph over** speed limits. ( **74 in 65** zone) I don’t know about the others with advanced degrees and all that, but my calculator thingy says that 74mph in a 65mph zone = 9mph over, not 4mph over… I can also add 9 to 65 using my fingers and it surprisingly still comes out to the same answer… ---

No, he was just saying he doesn’t understand the reeb thingy anymore than understanding the za for pizza thingy… I assume anyway… BTW, never heard the za thingy before, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least with texting these days… Sometimes I have to ask my 36yo son WTH is he talking about, they have their own language… ---

Kind of strange that the person using reeb for b ee r is also against using acronyms. ---

> [@davesmopar](#): > > ever heard the za thingy before, but it doesn’t surprise me in the least with texting these days That abbreviation predates the days of texting. It appears to have originated with “frat bros” in the '80s. I first heard it from some graduates who came back to visit with me. ---

I cheat. At highway speeds, 9 over is less egregious. 12% at 75 mph posted. State trooper said they may not stop a vehicle until 10 or more over. (Dash cam video shows photo redight camera did not flash when I was 10 over.) When they see the **unlit** light bar they are more lenient with my speed because they know I am likely transporting blood or specimen, etc. But when I remove the light bar to save fuel and reduce pollution, I cannot push the speedimit. Funny. When I was redights at 20 mph in **active 20 mph school zone** , a pickup passed me. ---

Only when hospitals request redightsiren transports. Otherwise drive themergencyehicle following all traffic laws. When returning from deliveries, I call hospitals on the route home offering to takempty boxes out of their way. One hospital had twenty. Moving the driver seat forward I was abe to fit 18 for an uncomfortable 249-mile trip home. Two other occasions on the way home hospitals had OB specimens transported emergently to the blood center. They remarked about their luck. ---
