Revision as of 13:45, 11 May 2006 by 71.82.121.125 (talk) (removed unnecessary vulgarity)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Lot lizard is sexual slang used by truckers to refer to prostitutes who work at truck stops. Lot lizards will generally go from truck to truck offering sexual services to truck drivers. They may also use CB radios to find potential customers.
The term had been in use for many years before it was popularized in novels starting in the 1990s.
A Wired magazine profile on trucker culture discussed lot lizards:
- Turn on the CB radio, Mitchell warns me, and you're just as likely to hear a trucker asking about the prospects for prostitutes in a particular city as you are to hear about road conditions. "It's always, 'Where are the girls?'" he reports. In the lingo of truckers young and old, prostitutes are referred to as Lot Lizards, and they typically market themselves by simply knocking on doors of parked trucks. "If you see a truck with a 'no Lot Lizards' sticker in its window - a lizard with a red line through it," Mitchell says, "that means they don't want any bothering them."
Lot Lizard is also a metal band from Marshall Co. Alabama. Thier homepage is http://www.myspace.com/lotlizardmusic
