Licence plates.

Post Reply New Topic

So, I have a tendency to notice information such as licence plates on cars and I often see them and think about words they remind me of etc.

Anyway, yesterday I saw an ambulance with the licence plate DOC (and then three numbers). It's almost as good as when I saw a police car with the letters BOV, which means villain or crook or something similar in Swedish (I'm Swedish). I love it when things like that happen. It's like someone has hidden an easter egg somewhere in the world and I just found it. Not sure why I'm so excited about it but I am.

Sometimes they are written in L33T code also; I have seen a few plates that used numbers intentionally to get around the ban on offensive words. Once I saw a classic musclecar driven by an old man with the plate reading T-I-H-S-E-P-A; in a mirror the word becomes a slang term for crazy or extreme. Some plates can even be mnemonic.
