( vol-ee) n. A volunteer firefighter or First Aider; usually a geeky/nerdy suburbanite looking to overcompensate for his lack of masculinity, social popularity, and/or
small-town political connections and hopes to obtain the ever-coveted
small-town
police department job. Vollies adorn their pick-up trucks with an excessive amounts of blue LED lights because the power trip of making other vehicles pull over to the side for them is almost orgasmic. Several stickers, placards, maltese crosses and some FDNY 9/11 are plastered all over the vehicle -in
case you didn't know what they did for a hobby. They also pander to paid city jobs with the "
Bro" and "
Brother" in hopes of being perceived as "one of them," but are never taken seriously by paid members and are perceived as "buffs" and "hobbyists." Used mostly as a pejorative...obviously
