Lorry, Waggon or Truck

I like “Juggernaut” too.

A juggernaut is a term used to describe a force regarded as unstoppable, that will crush all in its path.

The word is derived from the Sanskrit Jagannātha[1] (meaning “Lord of the universe”) which is one of the many names of Krishna from the ancient Vedic scriptures of India. One of the most famous of Indian temples is the Jagannath Temple in Puri, Orissa, which has the Ratha Yatra (chariot procession), an annual procession of chariots carrying the murtis/statues of Jagannâth (Krishna), Subhadra and Baladeva (Krishna’s elder brother). During the British colonial era, Christian missionaries promulgated a fallacy that Hindu devotees of Krishna were lunatic fanatics who threw themselves under the wheels of these chariots in order to attain salvation. Such a description can also be found in the popular fourteenth-century work “The Travels of Sir John Mandeville.” In rare instances in the festival’s past, people had been crushed accidentally as the massive 45 foot tall, multi-ton chariot slipped out of control, with others suffering injury in the resulting stampedes. This sight led the Britons of the time to contrive the word “Juggernaut” to refer to examples of unstoppable, crushing forces.

I regard something with a trailer on the back as a lorry.

In the US the bogies on trains are called trucks.

In Scotland bogies are what you pick from your nose. :smiley: :smiley:

All together everyone!

I like trucking, I like trucking,
I like trucking and I like to truck.
I like trucking, I like trucking,
If you don’t like trucking, tough luck.

On the road, you must be brave and tireless,
On the road, you can listen to the wireless,
On the road, you eat café food with pride,
You can throw it up outside.

The greatest kick in trucking comes from knocking down a biker,
Or swinging round a roundabout and picking up a hiker,
You’re chatting up that piece of skirt who’s sitting by your side,
Then pop the crucial question - a ride for a ride?

I like trucking, I like trucking,
I like trucking and I like to truck.
I like trucking, I like trucking,
If you don’t like trucking, tough luck.

Perhaps the greatest laugh of all, that makes this life worthwhile,
Is waving on the car behind, giving him a smile,
With glasses and with gratitude, he revs his little load,
And meets another trucking truck, a-trucking down the road.

On the road, you must be tough and ruthless,
And the rumours that we’re gay are truthless,
On the road, you can wear your shirtsleeves rolled,
You eat chocolate when it’s cold.

From behind, we like to sneak up on you from behind,
Never mind, if you hit 'em never mind.

We like trucking, we like trucking,
We like trucking and we like to truck.
We like trucking, we like trucking,
If you don’t like trucking, tough luck.

trucknetuk has a name for a reason! not lorrynetuk or wagonetuk :open_mouth:

Well for me it’s “lurry” most of the time.

I’ve also been known to occasionally partake in a mug of Esso 20/50 and a hedgehog sandwich.

Lorry or waggin, (Yes, waggin. :stuck_out_tongue: )

Shed■■?

Yeah, but concern remains at the gay name (My counsellor blames the trauma upon mis-identifying with the Village People…)

Keith (- as in ‘also a motorcyclist but never a ‘biker’’)

I thought it was LURRY :laughing:

I have Manc parents who call them lurries - so growing up on merseyside I ised to switch between calling them a lurry and a lorry - so it is easier to call them trucks or wagons and avoid the pee taking…
