I can’t imagine what could possibly be funny about it. :mad: Really scary that it got approved.

Several businesses use the Triple K name. Maybe it refers to one of them.

ANUSONE. No idea what it means. No idea how it got past the censors. Saw it at the parking lot of Whole Foods, of all places.

😕:eek:😕  
??? And people aren’t ashamed to go near them? Is it just a small minority of the population that goes there? Or do they not realize the meaning of it? Or is there some alternate meaning I’m unaware of?

'Cause where I come from, that’d be one burned-down business.

Can we make a rule that whoever posts a vanity plate put the meaning of that plate in the same damn post?

I hate feeling like an idiot, and I’ve done so often in this thread.

As for my contributions:

1. a urologist has CME2P (see me to pee) see? How hard is that?
2. I saw a motorcycle with the plate R-GAZM (orgasm) I couldn’t believe that slipped through.

The posts about 3M-TA3 (eat me backward, as seen in a mirror) I believe are urban legend stories now… Most if not all states retain the right to take back plates if the censors miss one, and I believe I read that 3M-TA3

I’ve given up on some of these thread entries. Damn you people! Post the meanings!

I can appreciate a clever plate… let us all share in the fun!

Can we all add spoiler boxes to explain what the license plate actually means? There are a few posted that I just don’t get.

I saw a vanity plate in traffic yesterday that took me a minute to figure out:

2NDHOM

Of course, now that I write it out, it looks so obvious to me!

The other day I saw one that said IH8 422. I hate 422Route 422 is a major commuter route here. We were sitting in a jam right then on that road.

A few weeks ago I saw one that said SEHCTAP. I _believe_ that’s PATCHES, backwards, but maybe someone can puzzle something else out.

And a few years back I saw one that said ENTROPY, which I just loved.

If you saw the driver, it was indeed a reference to both!

A couple of weeks ago, I was behind a Lincoln Towncar with a _personalized handicapped_ plate that read “MNTLLY”.

In my area there is a VERY pink Mini Cooper running around with the plate PINKCAR.

It is indeed very pink.

A person living in my building has BCKIFAN. Judging from all the Ohio Bumperstickers on it, they are proud fans of the Ohio Buckeyes.

I worked with a guy who had that as his plate. A very smart guy, but he just loved him some Internet memes.

Also seen around town:

KDF JA - on an early Beetle. Very nicely restored, too.  
GMILF - on an SUV driven by an attractive lady of a certain age.  
CONOOOO - with a ~ hand-painted above the N, making it a fairly rude word.

My local butcher’s delivery truck is PIG BUM. Easy. Not like some of the ones here…

GMILF I get except for the G (the rest is Mothers I’d Love to Fuck).

KDF JA - what IS that…?
