a radio receiver that can quickly switch between two or more channels (today's scanners usally have more then 500 channels) and then stop when the frequency is active. Used by criminals and radio operators to listent to pretty much everything from the police officer asking his buddy to get him more doughnuts and your cordless phone.

Phenomenon that usually occurs in the car, after your portable CD player has been jacked by some assclown who drove the car last, where you try all the good stations and there's either really crap music playing or TALKING and ads. At which point you are forced to entertain yourself, or even worse, you may have to communicate with your passengers.

A joke played on an innocent victim, where several people agree beforehand to laugh at a completely pointless joke involving elephants, polar bears, etc. in a bathtub with the punch line "no soap ... radio". The objective is to see if they can get the victim to laugh along so he won't look like he was too dumb to get it. If he does, then everyone stops laughing and asks the victim what's so funny, and gets a good laugh at his embarassment.
We used to do the old "no soap...radio" joke when we were 10.

The point at which you accept total defeat in the quest to find a decent radio station. You started on some overplayed pop track, then skipped opera, classical, country, some fake thug tripping over his beats now you’re back to that shitty pop channel. You settle on some sub par 90's song. You don’t even turn the radio off; just sit there in utter indifference.
You: I was real worried when you rolled in here bumpin the Macarena.
Your Friend: I was trying to find something good for so long, but then I gave in to radio apathy.
