Ram 3500 Dually
/ram THUR-tee fyv HUN-dred/ n.- 1. A heavy-duty pickup truck of substantial posterior breadth, distinguished by dual rear wheels per side and an aggressively flared bedside that reads as architectural; esp. one photographed at highway speed, which only makes the rear quarters look more inevitable.
- 2. colloq. A truck that does not back into a parking spot so much as occupy it with permanent intent.
"A thiccc Ram 3500 dually pulled up and the parking lot reorganized around it; the flared rear quarters take two spaces by birthright."
From the Ram Trucks brand (spun off from Dodge by Chrysler in 2009 as a standalone marque) + the model code denoting one of the heaviest-duty consumer pickup configurations. The trim dually is short for "dual rear wheel", the doubled axle that gives the truck its rear-three-quarter silhouette. The Ram nameplate itself goes back to the 1981 Dodge Ram, trading from the start on the imagery of a literally thiccc-necked beast.
Filed by
It was photographed taking up two spaces and the lot accepted the terms without arbitration.
Ruling PROVISIONAL
The bedside is not 'architectural.' It is flared. Confirm dual rear wheel count from manufacturer specification. Pending that, admitted.
In the margin
Circulation notes the parking-lot reorganization was not metaphorical.
Also received REJECTED
Submitted: a knitting needle. After the dually, I thought maybe the catalogue had room for something long and distinguished, just differently proportioned.
It is a needle. It is thin. No.
