Howdy, cowboy! Visa nu, vad har du på din mack? Jag behöver fylla skafferiet på min truck [English]. Tuggummi, så klart, snus och chips, en låda dryck, skulle jag bli glad om jag fick. Jag drar min långtradarsång, min lastbilskörarsång, för jag har sån smak för bilar med flak. Jag drar min truckdriving song [English], tjugofyra meter lång, och jag tackar Gud för countryns alla ljud. Och om låten blir för tråkig, ja, då jag tar jag det kallt. Ja, då byter jag tonart och höjer ett halvt. Ja, jag höjer ett halvt.

1986, Claes Eriksson, “Truckdriving song”, in Macken [The gas station], performed by Per Fritzell:

Howdy, cowboy! Show me now, what do you have at your gas station? I need to fill the pantry in my truck [English]. Chewing gum, of course, snus and chips [in the US sense], a case of drink, I would be happy if I got. I do [pull] my big rig song, my truck driving song, because I have such taste for cars with a flatbed [platform]. I do my truckdriving song [English], twenty-four meters long, and I thank God for all the sounds of country music ("for the country music's all sounds"). And if the song gets too boring, yes, then I stay cool [take it cool]. Yes, then I change the key and raise by a half [step]. Yes, I raise by a half [step].

ref

inspicient in Svenska Akademiens ordbok (SAOB)

När vi flyttade tillbaka igen, fick jag frågan om jag vill prova på att vara inspicient. Det ville jag och fick gå som lärling en tid hos en annan inspicient innan jag fick min första egna produktion, som var Pelle Snusk, på Studion, hösten 2002. […] I Sverige finns det ingen utbildning för inspicienter. Förmodligen beror det på att arbetet varierar på de olika teatrarna. De flesta inspicienter skolas in i yrket genom utbildning internt.

2017 January 5, Inger Duberg, “Johan har full koll på scenen [Johan has full control of the stage]”, in Göteborgs-Posten:

When we moved back again, I was asked if I want to try being an stage manager. I wanted that and had to apprentice for a while with another stage manager before I got my first own production, which was Der Struwwelpeter, at Studion, in the autumn of 2002. […] In Sweden, there is no school for stage managers. It is probably because the work varies in the different theatres. Most stage managers are trained in the profession through in-house training.

Han spelar i lifvet ungefär samma roll som en gammal inspicient gör på teatern. Han visar sig aldrig på scenen, men är oumbärlig bakom kulisserna, kan alla rollerna utantill, och gör tecken åt skådespelaren, när det är tid för honom att lägga sitt ansikte i ordning för entrén, […]

1894, Tor Hedberg, Farbror Agathon med flere noveller, page 105:

He plays in life much the same role as an old stage manager does at the theater. He never appears on the stage, but is indispensable behind the scenes, knows all the parts by heart, and makes signs to the actor, when it is time for him to put his face in order for the entrance, […]

Clipping of buskteater, busk- here meaning outside (see buske), + -is. First attested in 1959.

2020 July 2, Marcus Bornlid Lesseur, “Buskis – ny bok om en genre som är både hatad och älskad”, in Sveriges Radio:

- What drew me to it was also that among those who comment on the farcical open-air theatre, critics for example, it is seen as quite bad and has a negative connotation, while among practitioners and audiences it is seen as something very positive; it attracts a large audience and is very popular.

(colloquial, theater) A slapstick or farce played outside.
