Smoking??????????

What/When do you smoke/get smoked?
I am new to the diesel thing and the "smoke" to.
I understand when you "kill" you smoke.

I was driving down I-80 and a dodge passed me and let out a lil (almost missed it) smoke, I under stood that. I floored my right and caught up and went even, he took the exit while my GF did her job.

Then this weekend I was towing my '77 highboy on a gooseneck, doing 80 and a NBS passed me and let out a sht load of smoke (never seen smoke like that), I was blinded for a few seconds.
Why?
Was that a insult?
Sorry I'm not going to race towing, even with a stock 7.3 to a newer PS.

When do you smoke and what does it mean (besides a kill or obvious inslut)?

My dad was getting on I-80 and had to give a "remark" about a "smoking" Ford (like it was a bad thing).
At least I knew a little.
He is a cummings man (Pete and a Dodge).
