The radio frequency by which Fire, EMS and local police are dispatched and operate on. Most often run by the county to cover Fire, EMS and police dispatch on a county wide system. Named the Whacker Radio because a Whacker will listen to these broadcasts on his\her scanner or two way radio, often at a volume where everyone around them can hear every word.
(Inside a medical transport ambulance)
EMT1: What the hell is that noise?
EMT2: That's the county radio.
EMT1: The Whacker Radio? Why the hell do we need that on?
EMT2: Because I'm listening to it.
EMT1: (sigh) You're one of those damn Whackers aren't you?
EMT2: Damn right, I take that as a compliment!

Rapidly flashing or rotating blue, red, white, amber or green (depedning on the state) halogen, strobe or L.E.D lights found on the vehicles of volunteer fire fighters and EMTs to be used in responding to the scene or the squad building\firehouse. Most states refer to them as "courtesy lights" which means the volunteer is asking traffic to pull over to let him by but they are not required to by law. In some states, volunteers responding in their personal vehicles are supposed to be given the same right of way as an Emergency Vehicle. Some volunteers don't use them (such as those that live close to the building) and some have just one, placed in the center of the dashboard or windshield. A volunteer who is considered a whacker may have half a dozen or more of these flashing and rotating lights. Hence the courtesy light became known as Whacker Lights.

Neighbor1: What the hell was that?!
Neighbor2: That was John from 106, he's with the fire department. He's got a dozen and half of those Whacker Lights on his pickup.
Neighbor1: Fuck, that's bright!

Brown Paper Bag is a trucker's term for an unmarked police cruiser commonly heard over the CB Radio. If there's a brown paper bag and he's drinking it, that means said cop has got somebody.

State Trooper: Who's that guy that's just standing over there watching everything?
Fire Chief: Oh he's okay, he's harmless. That's our Squirrel Boy, he belongs to Station 46 but he comes to our calls a lot.

A full size SUV made by GM under the name plate of the Chevrolet Suburban and the GMC Yukon XL. Up until 2000, the GMC model was also a Suburban. The Cadillac Escalade ESV is also based on the Suburban platform.
The Suburban has a reputation as a soccer mom vehicle. This was not always the case, only recently has this become a common sighting. The Suburban has become the soccer Mom vehicle in the past decade or so because the Suburban has gone the way of most SUVs. These days they're full of luxury bits and electronic gizmos that make it easier for soccer moms to drive them. Leather, heated seats, rear camera, power lift gate, remote start and push button electronic four wheel drive. The Suburban used to be a large vehicle that the soccer Moms were intimidated by because of it's massive size, weight and fuel consumption. The Suburban is 18 ft. long and until such inventions as the rear camera and obstacle detection systems, was difficult to park.
The Suburban used to be a utilitarian vehicle with cloth bench seats that would allow you to haul 9 people with room for gear. The Suburban, the new ones, are a soccer Mom vehicle, used to shuttle little Billy to school and soccer practice. But a used Suburban, especially one more than 20 years old, can be had for as little as $1000. The pre-1992 models are inexpensive to lift as high as 12 inches. Parts are dirt cheap to buy in junk yards everywhere. The old Suburban is a real truck!

Guy1: So who's turn is it to drive for this weekend's fishing trip?
Guy2: I believe it's my turn, we'll take my truck.
Guy3: You have a truck? All I've ever seen you drive is your Cobalt.
Guy2: That's because I don't drive it every day, it's my spare vehicle.
Guy1: What kind of truck is it?
Guy2: It's a Chevy Suburban.
Guy3: (laughs) Do you have to ask permission from the wife to see if little Johnny has a soccer game before you can take it to go fishing?
Guy2: No. I don't have any kids and my wife hates the Suburban. She drove it once and she hates it.
Guy1: What year is it?
Guy2: It's a Ninety Four with a big block.
Guy3: Damn!
Guy2: I believe it's my turn, we'll take my truck.
