big ol' truck

A truck typically driven by males throughout the southern and mid-western regions of the United States, the big ol' truck is considered a symbol of manliness in these regions. Many big ol' trucks are decorated with NASCAR or Git-r-done stickers. Owners of big ol' trucks routinely drive their trucks around in muddy fields in a leisure activity known as muddin'. The amount of mud one is able to plaster over the surface of one's truck is a prime determiner of the social hierarchy in some areas, and getting one's big ol' truck hung up so badly that someone else has to come pull it out with a chain is a very typical male bonding experience. Such experiences are glorified in some country music pieces, though they are painted in a more heterosexual light. Men who own or whose family's have been known to own specific makes and models of trucks often have very rigid opinions about their specific truck and are often very critical of other makes and models. Numerous debates on such subjects are very typical elements of conversation.
