A friend here just got a plate that says Scouse on it. He wanted Scouser but someone else already had it!

They're cheap as chips up in Maine, so rather hard to find something good, so had LIMY4US

Rather expensive and more hassle in MA, so haven't bothered, but because of that, still plenty of good ones you can get....best was KLUNGE though, for anyone who's seen Inbetweeners

I have a private plate in the UK but don't have one here...I have an animal friendly charity plate instead.

There are some words that are vulgar in British English which are not vulgar in American English.

Personally, I can think of two plates I've seen in LA that made me laugh -- ROSH TOV and 10FT2X4. Of course, both of those are perfectly fine in their literal meaning.

I would have thought TOSSPOT would be more fitting to have in LA.

So if there's a craze of people suddenly driving around with "KLUNGE" for plates, it's because of this thread then

Though what you put down on the application for meaning of word? "Best friends"?

Though I do think that the DMV should post what people have given for the reason of the plate up, because for how much they cost in MA, some of them are right shite and hard to figure out

Default Re: Private Plates - Who's Got One?

I have a new plate, had a old private plate but it reflected my company name and did not look to professional when the 1 finger sign or the FO correspondence was made when someone cut me up, so decided on a plate that was of interest to me personally and to any other dim twit it means nothing unless you have read Greek Mythology... its the name of a Greek God
