OK to put the record straight, riding shotgun means you are sitting in the FRONT PASSENGER seat of a vehicle..
The origin of the term is possible from the old western days when the guy in the front other than the driver was there with a shotgun to protect the carriage..

It is a good piece of Americana... and great slang expression also.


also, *ridin bitch* can refer to the middle person ridin in a truck, on a bench seat. this is also a "call shotgun" situation. whereby the shotgun caller gets window and is allowed one *hah, you're ridin bitch!* comment.
