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

Sorry no source for this, but here’s a similar [PDF list](https://gray-arc-content.s3.amazonaws.com/KOLNKGIN/Denied%20Nebraska%20License%20Plates.pdf) for just Nebraska. Lots of offensive stuff, but also lots of WTF denials.
