JCB
Yellow site machine
JCB is a British manufacturer of construction and agricultural equipment, but in British English the name has become genericized to mean any backhoe loader or digger, regardless of brand.
There's a JCB blocking the road.
This usage parallels how Americans might say "Kleenex" for any tissue.
The term appears frequently in British news and conversation when referring to construction machinery or excavation work.
