Meat Wagon

An Early and Slang term for old Ambulances that were based on a standard car chassis, instead of a larger chassis, like a van or truck chassis. There was a high mortality rate in said ambulances because the equipment was primitive compared to what is found in modern ambulances.

Stan:Hey, did you hear how Kenny almost got decapitated in the back of Nurse Gollum's Meat Wagon?

Kyle:Yeah, at least he's safe in the Hospital... I hope...
