CB Savage is a perjorative term applied to owners and operators of CB Radio equipment by amateur radio operators and pirate radio operators. The term originates with the 1977 one-hit wonder song of the same name, where a police officer pretends he is a gay truck driver over a CB Radio. CB savages are known to operate in lid-like manner, using splatterboxes with modulation limiters removed, poorly filtered amplifiers and other equipment that produces overmodulated AM, clipped and sometimes absolutely terrible sounding audio.
