Another piece of dark slang for an ambulance, emphasizing its association with severe injury and death. Like 'body box,' it's the kind of grim nickname used by first responders, dark-humor enthusiasts, and people who deal with mortality professionally. The term suggests the vehicle carries people who are in genuinely dire shape. It's not affectionate or ironic — it's bluntly honest about what ambulances sometimes transport.
