All I saw was trip lek and tri plek. What the heck is that, a new teen reference? No I wasn’t offended.
Triple K is a breakfast cereal over here.
Oh yeah? We have Special Kover here. Hah!
As has been said before, if you’re putting it on a license plate, you’ll probably want to use a somewhat oblique reference. Urban Dictionary even contains an entry for “triple k” meaning “kkk.” There’s even more oblique symbology, like 311, which apparently also stands for the KKK (“k” being the 11th letter of the alphabet.) Now, I don’t know whether it’s really used, and the band 311 was part of a false urban legend based on their name. Scanning quickly online, it does seem at least one hate group uses the 311 reference in their name.
However, given the various possible interpretations of “triple k,” there’s no telling what it could mean on a license plate. Still, I would avoid it given the possible (mis)interpretation.
Am I the only one picturing Daleks in white hoods, saying "DISCRIMINATE…DISCRIMINATE…DISCRIMINATE!!
Landlord of a 3 apartment complex? Duplex, Triplek? The state that issues the licence is supposed to decide if it is offensive.
I guess I’m misinterpreting it. What does it mean?
Energy Bunny. Not nigger bunny (transpose the g and r.)
Energy Bunny?
Thanks.
I was trying to make it Norwegian Bunny or Nerge Bunny, neither of which made any sense.
You WERE. Not any more. Now I can’t get that out of my head.

It is indeed Special K.
Well, they do share a similar tolerance for beings different from themselves…
However, I thought of one of those Star Wars slave dancer girls with one extra head tentacle.
Does dyslexia run in the family?
I would just think “what was Triple H already taken?” and assume the car was owned by a fan of Vince McMahon’s son in law.
I’m not specifically questioning the OP’s vision, but an X might looking like a K at first glance, and the plate could actually have been TRIPLEX. FTR, that’s what I thought of first (Tri-plek/Triplex), I didn’t recognize the Triple X at all.
Nope, got it as possibly meaning KKK right off but it strikes me as improbable. Not offended at all.
Maybe Alex Trebek can’t spell?
I remember when “being offended” meant a visceral reaction to an overt and personal insult, not something one has to analyze and alchemize. It’s the difference between a spontaneous erection and pounding away at a handful of flaccid meat trying desperately to invoke the desired response. Sure, you might eventually force your way to a chubby, but is it really worth all the effort?
The Smoking Gun had a collection of letters written to DMVs by “concerned citizens” who’d managed to crack the DaVinci code on Random Asshole’s vanity tag and just couldn’t sit back and let it happen, I mean what would happen if little 5-year-old Tyler asks Mommy to explain GOTMILF? Oh, mournful loss of innocence!
That’s what I thought. “I wonder if they’ve got brow ridges.”
