Re: Truck or Pick-up
Which one?
![]() Shoot, I call my SUV a truck, because it is. Full frame, based on a truck, and is registered as a truck. I've been an electrician for 30+ years, I have NEVER had to change the MOTOR oil in an electric motor. Now on to more important things. Does my pistol have a magazine or a clip? ![]()

Re: Truck or Pick-up
According to http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/truck The one of the definitions of truck (noun) is:
f : an automotive vehicle with a short chassis equipped with a swivel for attaching a trailer and used especially for the highway hauling of freight; also : a truck with attached trailer To add to all the confusion.. A lot of "semi" truckers don't call them semi's or truck, but rather tractor - trailors. AND.... to settle the motor/engine debate (well, who am I kidding, this really won't 'settle' it) http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/motor 1mo·tor noun \ˈmō-tər\ : a machine that produces motion or power for doing work CloseStyle: MLA APA ChicagoFull Definition of MOTOR 1: one that imparts motion; specifically : prime mover 2: any of various power units that develop energy or impart motion: as a : a small compact engine b : internal combustion engine; especially : a gasoline engine c : a rotating machine that transforms electrical energy into mechanical energy |

Re: Truck or Pick-up
Terminology is different from region to region.
When I was in Europe, the Dutch mechanic told me to pull my "car" into the shop bay. It was a 5 ton Army truck with a 25 foot boom on the back! Oh well... Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Truck or Pick-up
What if you pick up your motorcycle in your truck? (Its a Harley, they love to ride in the back of pick up trucks).

Re: Truck or Pick-up
Next time they correct you about "pickup" or "truck", tell them they're mispronouncing their own name and ask them if they know what a pedant is

Re: Truck or Pick-up
It really makes no difference to me about the whole Pick-up or truck thing. What really bothers me is when someone says nice car!?!? I find myself always turning around to see if I am indeed standing in front of my TRUCK or sombody elses car! Has anybody else experienced this?

Re: Truck or Pick-up
I call my truck a truck, if you want me to help you move, you will call it a truck as well...
![]() I actually will use Pickup as well, because there's just something women like about a pickup man... I have always considered a Semi to be a tractor trailer... My grandfather and a few of my uncles were "truck Drivers" at various Points in their lives, and they always referred to their Semi as the tractor... that is when it did not have the trailer attached... They would call the combo a truck. |
