[QUOTE=Morgyn] I _hope_ no one here needs a translation of NORO LIM! We are all Tolkien geeks of one level or another, right? Right? [/QUOTE] Tolkien?? 😕 I haven’t smoked in **decades**. I keed! I know who JRR Tolkien was, but I still need the translation Plates that I’ve seen: WARSUX (“War sucks!”) - On a car with a Purple Heart plate **AND** a USMC sticker! 1NFDL (“Infidel”) - On a car with a “Fight Terrorism” plate! THEBANKS (“The Bank’s”) - as in who REALLY owns the car. Unless the family’s name was Banks. C1AO 2TI (“Ciao tu ti”) - Italian for “Good Bye to you” (Please forgive my spelling and translation.) METAD8TA (“Metadata”) - must have been a database person. AUH20 - Goldwater (Au = Gold, H2O = Water) A friend of mine, a US military officer with some intelligence experience (and plenty of intelligence of his own), had “I SPY” on one car and “KGB SPY” on his other car. ---
