> [@WildaBeast](#): > > I think it read **DOODDIT**. Which to me is just a funny sound. I think it’s “do’ed it.” As in little kid-speak for “did it”. > Mommy, mommy! I dood it, I dood it! I tied my own shoes!" Or whatever kidly triumph they’re so proud of. Scored 4 yesterday: - **FAST⎵BLU** on a FL standard plate on a teal blue Mini Clubman. Not a car I think of as fast, but I bet they’re fun to drive. - **PINOG** on a FL standard plate on a BMW 2325 convertible. I followed for aways and we almost joined forces when we both entered a long left turn pocket then they suddenly stomped their brakes and wanted to make a U-turn well short of the light. With oncoming traffic blocking their turn. Surprise! Besides signifying terrible driving, I think the plate is either a last name, or more likely “Pino(t) G(rigio)” which they might pronounce “Pinot G”. - **D3EEM** on a 5-character NHL booster plate on a stock pickup truck. Probably a variant spelling of “dream”. Might just be a standard series plate. But a memorable one. - **BAGDA** on a 5-character NFL booster plate on a jacked up Ram pickup w big noisy tires, wide mirrors, etc. Presumably a veteran of Iraq. ---

**YATROKT** , spotted on this Audi S8 when I went out to lunch. No clue what it means. ETA: Yacht Rock something? [![Imgur](https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55142345181_ca410fab5c_b.jpg "Untitled | Matt Wilda | Flickr") ](https://www.flickr.com/photos/66423490@N08/55142345181/) ---

**5 PRIME** , on a Prius. Any ideas? I got none. ---

The Prius Prime is the plug-in hybrid version of the Prius, so maybe a reference to that? And the 5 just because a bunch of other people had the same idea for a plate. ---

Ahh yeah, that’s probably it. **XAVI8R** I like clever plates! I’m pretty sure this is a Xavier who is a pilot. Xavier the aviator. ---

Hope this is not gauche but I’d like to quote myself, from a different license plate thread, listing a bunch of utterly innocuous plate requests that were denied by perhaps overly cautious and hyperconservative DMVs: > [@What is offensive about this Vanity license plate?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-offensive-about-this-vanity-license-plate/945542/31): > > A while back I came across a massive PDF that resulted from a public records request of denied vanity plate applications, covering all 50 state DMVs. A lot of the banned plates were incredibly innocuous, or maybe I am just not getting the dirty jokes involved. Rejected plates included: AFOOT ACES ABNORML ALCHEMY ALRIGHT ALICE ARCHIE AOKAYE AUTISM AVIATOR HEYJUDE HIJINX INSPIRE JELLO JTKIRK KAYAKER L8AGAIN PRAXIS QTRBACK QUAKER SHOPGRL SHOEGRL TOUCAN UNMOVED VRMONTR Sorr… In that light I have been very surprised by two spotted in the last few weeks in my neighborhood: **BADDASH PRO GUN** BADDASH was a teenager’s junky sports car; I hope he has some sense of wry irony in calling himself a BADDAS[H]. PRO GUN was a very scary monster truck being driven just as you’d expect. You want to be the cop who has to pull that over? (who am I kidding – it probably is a cop) ---

(a) I must apologize for tarring all PRO GUN folks with the same brush. Of course most are respectful. However, this guy was not, and the license plate was basically just icing on the cake for his whole Mad Max posture of both vehicle and driving style. A more aggressive asshole on the road I had not seen in some time. (b) Nevertheless this was, shall we say, a provocative plate. I remain shocked it passed muster. ---
