CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS and MISCELLANEOUS
PLATE[Possible] EXPLANATION
1DEELITESounds promising...
1 FAST 1Someone who clearly likes speed...
2SPOILED I love this one!
3 G GRLZSorry, I'm not certain what a "3 G" girl is--or perhaps it's "G GIRLS" X3 (I'm still in the dark)...
3PILATESThis individual must often have to order 3 Pilates, I guess. Man, never in my life have I ever had a Pilate...
3X AMMO3x ammunition? A fan of firearms/shooting?...
ABACUS-1A fan of "traditional" calculation methods...or math in general?
A FEAG 2I'm kind of at a loss as to which catgory this should go in; not a clue to the meaning...
AIR JUTSNot sure, what a JUT is...
AJOYHappy about something...
AKRAISHOThis one is also a bit obscure, unless I'm missing something obvious...
APIXIntriguing, but don't have a clue what this one is referring to...("apex," with "E," means the top or tip of something, but APIX?? Don't know
APRILMAYA reference to the old limerick about flowers and showers? Perhaps someone who likes Spring?
ARTDOGClearly someone who enjoys artistic endeavors...
ASHCAKESOdd! Wonder if another family member has a plate with "PATACAKE" (Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man...)? Haha, just joking! For those who do not know, ashcakes are either corn bread wrapped in cabbage leaves and then baked in hot campfire ashes, or a soda-leavened dough hand formed, flattened, and cooked on such hot ashes. In the US, they are more or less a dish of southern origin (Aabama, Georgia, etc.)...
ASTARIRNAnother one that is pretty much Greek to me; A STAR...???...
AUG 6Not sure of the significance of this date (other than its being the anniversary of the US use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, in WWII)...
AVNAviation? Someone who likes to fly, apparently...unless these are personal initials
BAKERGRLA woman who likes to cook (unless she's a female member of the Baker family...ot maybe she works at a bakery -- in which case this it the wrong category...
BANGpossibly a fan of fireworks? A gun afficionado would probably choose weapon nomenclature for a personalized plate (e.g., P-38) or a company/model and caliber (e.g., SIGSAUER, COLT.45, M&P9MM). Maybe someone who likes The Big Bang Theory TV show?
BC GONECould be initials, with GONE...
BGDADIEA neat original spelling of Daddy, I must say
BIGDUDEA rather straightforward observation
BIGGDOGG
BIG-HUDD No clue what a HUDD is...??
BITR BO Bo is bitter about something? Boy "bo'" is bitter?
BIZ BLDR A successful entreneur, perhaps?
BKRDR No doubt about this person's favorite pasttime! Here, here for a good novel! Nothing beats real paper, the scent of the ink, the feel in your hand...screw KINDLE
BLDSUCKR BLOOD SUCKER is the way I choose to interpret this one--perhaps a comment about a very unplesant relationship partner, a fan of the vampire genre -- or, perhaps, something completely different: Bold Sucker? --or else, BALD sucker?...
BLUEIZZ This one's intriguiung, but I haven't figured it out yet...
BOSSDIVAapparently a commanding female, with a very high opinion of herself
BOY DRGN A guy who likes boy dragons as opposed to girl dragons?
BMFCU#1 Not sure wht this abbreviation refers to, so for now I'm putting this plate in this category. Submitted by my terrific bass guitar player, Michael. Thnx man!
BMBASTICGreat word--and to put it on a plate, is pretty cool. Dictionary definition tells us: someone prone to pompous, pretentious speech or writing...Unfortunately, the pronounciation of this particular word (bombastic) sets a replay in my head of that annoying Barbie Girl song "...life in plastic, it's fantastic"...
BLNDIEMost likely a plate belonging to a blonde female--but then again, I once had a Yorkshire Terrier named Blondie...
BX-DIVAA woman who considers herself a DIVA and who hangs out (or works) at the Air Force Exchange store (like a civilian department store). Not an Army person, as the facility would then be "PX" (the Army title is "Post Exchange", the Air Force title is "Base Exchange"...
BULLY1 Not sure why anyone would be particularly proud of this description (unless it's a joke)? I was kind of wondering, if Bully2 is in the same family...
BWHDYDURWasn't quite sure in which category to put this, because I have not yet figured out what the meaning is--no matter which vowels I add, haven't yet come up with a reasonable word, or words...
BWITCHD This one is pretty cool!
CANDYSUG Candy Sugar?
CATWOMAN Whoah, slinky!! I'm taking this as a character description, as opposed to the suggestion that she's a fan of Catwoman (or maybe, it's a male driver who IS a fan of Catwoman?)...
CHICKS 1S Hmmmh, CHICKS IS?? Chicks ONES? Any help here?
CHOSEN7Not sure if this means there are 7 chosen, this is the 7th chosen, or according to plates issued (including the original CHOSEN), this driver is number 8 who considers him/herself chosen (for what??)
CHROME44 Someone who likes shiny metal things?...
CINIMINI This plate was on a little Puegot vehicle, driven by an Asian female--which tells us nothing about the meaning behind CINIMINE --is it one word, or two: CINI / MINI ?
CO 75Possibly COLORADO? No real idea on this one...
COOLIN Maybe "CHILLIN" was already taken? I like this one...
COMEDIAN Pretty self-explanatory; I expect to see a plate like this on my niece, Anne-Marie's car someday in the near future--a very funny person is Anne-Marie, who considers herself a born comedienne...(probably politically incorrect, that).
CONJUREA magician, maybe??
COWGIRLWho is seeking a match with the right cowboy, maybe??
CREOLADY A 'creole' woman -- must be from Louisianna...
CVTATENot quite sure what this means...might be initials and a name--CV TATE? Something Latin??
DEDA NCDEDA(?) and North Carolina (NC), maybe?? A challenge, this one...
DEBONAIRI like this one; says a lot aboiut this individual's self-image!...
CYRANOA lady's man with a real predeliction for poetry, perhaps?
DABOSS1 Clearly, a LOT of folk like to feel that they are in charge...
DIVALYFE A woman who wants to live (or lives) the life of a Diva...
DIVA75 This scares the crap out of me -- does it mean there are at least 75 (DIVA 1-74 + the original DIVA) other women out there who think they are (or consider themselves) divas???? Yikes!!
DMAX Wonder what this refers to? Cup size? Something else? Any guesses?
DM-BOYZ Not sure what to make of this one--what's your guess?
DRUGSMaybe an indicator of what this driver likes doing during down time? Not sure if it's a wise thing to wave this plate in front of a law enforcement!!
DVUS-DEN"Divas' Den" (clever way to spell Diva...!!)...There sure are a lot of them out there!
EVIL MRSome people just wanna be BAAAD!
FAT BOY A fellow who is okay with being übersized
FGHT-GRL A girl who likes to scrap (fight)--(i.e., has a reputation for fighting)? Or, someone who likes fighting with girls?? I saw this plate in early 2010--but I can't remember if the film "Kick-Ass" had already been released yet, with its iconic character of "Hit Girl!" Saw this plate again just the other day; the driver was a guy, with a girl in the passenger seat...
FIBB A liar at heart, perhaps? Come on! Lie to me! Don't chu be tellin no fibs, now, haha!!

Technically, the word "fib," meaning a small or inconsequential "lie," is spelled with only a single "B". [Possibly from the (approx.) 1580's word "fibble fable" meaning "nonsense"]...

FINICKY1 I can sympathize -- sounds like my dog, can never find a food he likes for more than one meal...
FLIPPIN This one's interesting. Perhaps this person is looking for a partner with a plate that reads "OUT," to park beside?
FIT-GRL This girl, on the other side of the spectrum, is proud that she stays in shape
FIXProbably should have put this in the Observations / Recommendations category...I wonder, fix WHAT, exactly?
FLY-GURL A female who flies for a living or a hobby (as a pilot or passenger?)? A female entomologist specializing in "musca domestica" (the house fly)? Or, a girl who likes to drive fast??
FOX Again, an example of postive thinking / self-confidence (or else, a big ego)
FREEDAWGas opposed to maybe, "Freebyrd"? (a Lynyrd Skynyrd tune-though it's actually "Freebird"--DAWG / BYRD...you get it, right? I may be scraping the bottom of the barrel with this joke, hehe)!
FREELOVEHey, Go for it! I like the way this person thinks--sort of a throwback to the '60s flower culture! Or, perhaps the person is merely against, er, "paid [for]" love?
FROGWonder what's behind this one? An amphibian fan?
GEARASS What kind of gear?...
GEAREDUP All "geared up"...to do what?? springs to mind...
GEECHIE1 What in heaven's name, is a GEECHIE? And, there are more of them?? Maybe "GEECHIE goomie?"...
GIBO No idea!
GILA 9N Something of an obscure reference unless it's a nickname; the only Gila I've ever heard of is always associated with the word ord "monster"...hmmmmhh???
GLAMROUS Are you surprised at just how many women are NOT AT ALL bashful?!!
GLUS BUS Would love to know the story behind this one...
GMCHOCL@ Hmmh, wonder what this one is? GM as initials, or the car maker(unfortunately, do not have the vehicle make)? Or, General Mills (cereal)--given that the CHOCL might just be "chocolate", could be a chocolate cereal or something?...
GRU-UMPYWe all have such days, at one time or other...My admiration for the folks able to hide the mood...
HAMR26.2This one's interesting, though I haven't a clue unless the HAMR refers to "hammers"--but what is the significance of 26.2 ??
HAV2RIDE This might be better placed in the vehicles category; and, it seems more logical as a character reference--though one would expected "HAV2DRIV" rather than RIDE...but, who knows--there may be some other significance for this plate's owner...
HILLYS L8Hillary is late, perhaps?
HOG OARThis might be a VEHICLE reference to a motorcycle, but I can't figure the relationship between HOG and OAR...so I put this one in the "Character" category
HOMEBDY1This also describes me fairly well...
HOUSEHONThe ONLY thing that hits ME at least, to explain this one, is HOUSE HONEY--but hey, I could be grasping at straws...
HUGZ A character who likes giving or getting (or both) hugs, it would appear...
HUSSIE This driver is being honest with herself...
IAM42NUT This is a very nice thought from someone who doesn't take things for granted (fortunate)
I CANDEE Might refer to the car, if not the driver...
ICEFOX Intriguing. Maybe a fan of snow and ice? A cold-hearted woman? No telling!
II SHARP Ouch! Or, is "verbally sharp" what's actually meant here?
IM JIGGY Saw this plate in a WalMart parking lot. Let's hear it for jiggy people everywhere! A very interesting word, jiggy!
INDOLNT Bravo to this driver, who managed to make a character statement (about WHO???) while at the same time, indicating that he or she has an expansive vocabulary! The definition of "indolent," for those not in the know, is someone who is "..averse to activity, effort, or movement; lazy..."
ITBE PRI It be...PRI ? = I am ...PRI?? What might PRI be??...
JSMTMUncertain what this stands for...
KAMIKAZE This word fit perfectly. Wonder if the person is telling us he/she is a Kamikaze style driver, or something else?
KINGZKID Uncertain whether this KID is referring to (1) some royalty connection, (2) the family name KING, or (3) a reverence for Martin Luther King?
KNOLEGE1 The quest for knowledge is an important goal for many people...
KOLD a perpetually chilly person? Or possibly, a coldhearted character? I'm reminded of the old Paula Abdul song "Coldhearted Snake"...
* KOLD * This person seems to have come up with the exact same idea--but KOLD had gotten to the Department of Transportation (DOT) first with the plate request. Thus, this driver went with the * KOLD * option
L8ACE Late ACE (initials)?? Can't figure this one out...
LADYLED Yet another boss, this one female--or, maybe "led" as in "Lead" foot??!
LA TAINAseems an easy one to figure
LAST 3FTInteresting! Perhaps a runner?...
LAZYDUDE Hey--the old saying goes that 'recognizing your weaknesses is the first step to overcoming them' (assuming you actually want to...LOL!)
LEADERPretty self-explanatory! Uncertain only in which field this individual is a leader...
LIKEAROC Perhaps a fan of Dwayne Johnson? I suspect this person probably meant that he/she is "stable/firm/steadfast."
LITLDEVL Pretty easy to figure out the character type of this mischievous person!
LITLSPORNot quite sure what's behind the "SPOR" part......
LIV4FUNHey, some people don't ever want to take life too seriously...
LIVINITThis driver is living something...life in general, or a particular kind? Maybe simply ran out of space to add "UP"...
LOLITTA Seen at Fayetteville State University, Fayetteville, NC. The vehicle driver was female...
NC allows a "heart" image to be used on a plate; in this case, meaning "Love for Lexie." Not sure, whether the driver was male, or what...
LOW L1F3 Hmmmh--directed at others, I wonder--or is this a personal self-assessment? (OMG!--and there are 2 more LowLifes out there somewhere?)
LUM-B This has got to be a reference to the Lumbee--a Native American tribe indigenous to North Carolina, and I believe, for which the town of Lumberton is named. This driver may be a registered tribal member. Seen in Fayetteville, NC...
LVELYLEO We know this person's Zodiac sign, and appearance (in her opinion, at least)
LYCAEON Sounds like a Greek word or place name...any help out there? Unless, its a friend of Lyca cameras, who misses the Lyca Eon...lost in today's digital world...!
MACMASONA Masonic Lodge member named Mac? A stone mason named Mac?? Any ideas?
MADNESSCan't help but feel a little concerned for this driver!
MANDYCATI've heard of an alley cat, but a MANDYCAT is new to me. Maybe, a feline female named Mandy??
MB BEARCould be a name; maybe this is in the wrong category...
MCMLXXX This person's birthday is probably "1980" -- which this Roman number represents
* MEW * Cat fancier?
MAYHEM13Hmmmnh, seemingly a troublemaker who may possibly be distantly related to LITLDEVL...
MORTIS Latin word meaning "of death"--this plate was seen on (not surprisingly) a soldier's vehicle (you may have heard of RIGOR MORTIS ("rigidity of death")
MR.HEAV1 I wonder exactly what this MR. likes to HEAVE? Or, is "HEAV" a short form of HEAVY? Perhaps his surname actually is HEAV... a mystery!
MVRNSHKR This has GOT to mean "mover and shaker"-- someone who feels that they make a big impact on things. Thanks to Daniel for the contribution!
MSPIERCE Self-explanatory
MZ KLEEN A fan of Felix from The Odd Couple? Someone who likes things clean, in any case. Here here for good hygiene!
MZ-SMILZ A happy camper! Good for the world--the more the merrier!
MIZZ-VEE Interesting one!!
MOBRLHas to mean something to the plate owner, but it's Greek to me--unless is MOB RULES or something...
MOCA 12 Coffee? Many lovers, so 12...
MOCHABRN The driver happened to be African American...
MONOGRAM Interesting--this could either be embroidered initials (e.g., monogram on a shirt, bathrobe, etc.), or a fan of the old US plastic model company "Monogram" (contemporary competitor of Revell, Italieri, Hasegawa, Tamiya, etc.)--though the latter seems rather unlikely...
NANYWANBWow, there's someone who really WANTS to be a Nanny?! Or, is the real desire to look like Fran Drescher (from the TV show The Nanny)?
NCCODNorth Carolina Cash on Delivery? Hey, a total gamble, that; really, I have no idea...
N-DENYI'm really curious what this one means--if it were "in denial," it would have been set up differently. "N" -- wonder what that implies?
NBH8Y Hmmmhh, this one's a real challenge...NB Hatey? NB HATE Y??
NETRNGRWonder if this is somehow related to "Power Rangers"? The plate rides on a black Toyota Tundra pickup, which probably has no connection with the meaning behind the plate...
NERGIZR A fan of the Energizer Bunny, maybe? Or proclaiming the power to energize anything? .
NEGRA This word is derived from the Latin word "NIGRA," which means the color "black," of course; let's not jump to conclusions about implications here. The plate owner may be Black. Our trusty plate reporter for this one is Black and she took no offense...
NIGHTOWL I sympathise. I am, too.
NITRAYN This one's rather odd...
NOOR Can't make any sense of this one...
OCN GRL a female fan of the sea?
OLDNACL This one is definitely clever--though a chemist in the crowd would probably figure it out in a heartbeat (in fact, that's exactly what happened): NACL (sodium chloride) = salt, so perhaps another ocean fan here...or just an experienced old fart
ONEFLESH This one might be a religious reference, but it gives off a rather weird vibe in any case...
ON TOAST [something] on toast? Chipped beef on toast (soldiers call this SOS [shit on a shingle]
OOAHS Oohs and ahs! for...the car (make was not reported, sorry!)? For the driver? Or, is this a reference that only the driver knows?
ORNERY1 The number 1 on this plate informs us that there is at least one ORNERY person already out there, as well. Perhaps also a No. 2 and No. 3...?
OWTLAW Nice! With a neat alternative spelling...
OW OW Here's a cool plate, either "oh oh"! or "ow" as in "pain"!
OZOG Haven't a clue with this...got any ideas?
PAGE 15 The female name is usually spelled Paige, so I am assuming this reference is to something else (though I could be wrong)...
PAIN Does this driver like it? Want to cause it? Feel it much of the time?...
PATINO This one belongs to someone associated with my neighbor across the street--who happens to be Latino...
PAUPSUKR Intriguing -- this appears to be someone who spends a lot of time sucking on lolipops...bah-boom boom boom...
PH D This individual apparently wants to make sure her/his academic achievement is as well-advertised as is humanly possible. In your FACE!! ;-)
PLATNUMM This reference to Platinum is rather unique (if also a bit obscure)...
PORTURO This one has me baffled, I admit it...
PREMI Makes me think "premi" as in premature baby, (either the driver, or the driver is parent of a premi baby...but I could be totally off base with this guess...
PRIMO 1 Apparently, PRIMO was already out there, so our special driver here added with a number; an alternative would have been to use Latin: PRIMUS means "Number 1". Roman spelling actually used "V" for both "U" and "V", thus PRIMVS. The top Centurion in a Roman Legion was the PRIMVS PILVS (Primus Pilus), the "First Spear"...
PRINCESA You can't but wonder, about the original "PRINCESS", and "PrincesB? Perhaps our paths will also cross one day...
PSKOV No idea what this one represents...
QT 4U This driver had to be female (I'm sure you can figure this one out)...The vehicle was empty when I saw the plate...
RAINBOJO This could be either a nickname OR a personal name--or maybe it's just a very colorful Jo (...unless it's a reference to the Rainbow Coalition)
RAINDNCR A Native American whp performs a Rain Dance, perhaps?
RAKEEDAH This one's too obscure to figure out. Need insider help, here!
RAPTOR Saw this one outside of Big Harry's Tavern in Fayetteville. Very cool, since I was a dinosaur fan as a kid!
RAYDAR 1 Interesting variant of RADAR. A message for Law Enforcement?....
R.C.L.C. The significance of this letter combination escapes me... Can anyone help?
RDHZRD 6 Apparently, there are other drivers out there who consider themselves equally dangerous...?
RED VLVT Intriguing...velvet is nice!
RGL8RS Not sure what this driver and friends actually "regulate," but it might be something interesting...
RICHGRL Wish I knew what kind of vehicle this girl was driving (not recorded, too bad!). Thanks to Donovan for this one! (Seen in Raleigh, NC). Not sure if this chick is really wise to announce this on her plate--but if she really is rich, she can afford some bodyguards, no?...
RIDR Not sure exactly what kind of rider!
ROCKYN56 A person after my own heart--I'm a rocker, too! (play guitar in a rock band)
ROLLOCKI Not quite sure about the intent of this one...
RUBYCN 9 This one caught my interest because the Rubicon was the river along the northwest Italian border that Caesar, as a military commander outside of Italy, was not legally permitted to cross accompanied by a legion. Caesar he ignored this law and crossed anyway, setting off the civil wars with his former Triumvir partner, Pompey (Caesar won), and bringing about the end of the Roman Republic. This might be some sort of video game (like HALO, or WARCRAFT), with the "9" being this player's number?
SCARY Now here's a real generalization--practically anything could be scary (even the driver's face...)
SEA MOON Very descriptive!
SEXE Variations on "Sexy" are always popular...
SEXI BLK In fact, this was probably a reference to the vehicle--which happened to be a black sports car...
SEXY LUM Not sure if the LUM represents initials, or a nickname? ...
S*EVIL Possibly related to EVIL MR -- another fan of the Dark Side?
SHEYSTOY er...this person knows his/her place, it truly seems; OR, perhaps the CAR itself is the "toy" Shey is referring to...
SHORTEE I'm assuming this person is expressing self-confidence regardless of height...
SHURIMETPossibli "Sure I met"--more likely, I'me just grasping at straws...
SIGMAPAT Perhaps a fraternity/sorority reference??
SLKYLEGS You can certainly make a logical guess at the driver's gender--unless this happens to be simply a fan of silky legs...
SMOKY Could this refer to a State Trooper or law enforcement officer of some sort? Or, maybe it's a fan of Cheech and Chong...
SPICE-1 This driver's character is spicy, perhaps?
SSHINE Sounds bright and cheerful! Wonder if this person and MS-SMILZ know each other? Or, perhaps it's just a fan of solar energy and sunny dayz? (this "Z" thing is catching!)
STANHOSE Is this some sort of garden/lawn device that I'm not familiar with?? Sort of doubt it, but at the moment have no alternative theory
STUNNINGWell! This certainly says a lot...
THE ONE Pretty clear that this person considers him/herself pretty important...
TOPD 1The obvious assumption is TOP DOG 1...but maybe it's something else...
TORTURE Might think twice about meeting this person...
TRE JOHNTree John? Not sure about the "TRE" part
TREWALKRTree Walker? Or a part of a first name + Walker?. "tre" as part of Spanish "tres" (three)? Any relation to the previous??
TRLRHIPS Ouch!...I sense some pain--or else this driver/plate owner has a really generous sense of humor to go along with the Trailer Hips!
TSCHUSS Very casual German expression for "Bye Bye!" -- closely related to Italian "CIAO!" Probably someone of German descent, or who lived in Germany
TURF BOS Yet another fan of personal power
TX-REBELMight be Texas rebel, but I'm putting my money on the TAX REBEL explanation...
TYPHON Wonder if this driver is indicating that his/her character is as volatile as a typhoon?...
UNDERDAWG A lot of people find it easy to relate to and sympathize with the "underdog"...
UNTMOCHA "Mocha" pops up a lot on license plates, together with "brown" and in reference to color, sometimes as a euphemism for African-American ethnicity. This person seems to be of the opinion that YOU NOT "brown" (African-American?)...
VANSTOY6 Similar situation to SHEYSTOY shown earlier--and probably this CAR is the toy also, as opposed to the DRIVER (the car is the toy)...
VEC 22The VEC could be initials, but hard to believe there are 23 other plates with VEC, if that were the case; of course, the 22 might have some other significance to the driver...
VENEMOU$ Very cool!
VICEWonder which vice this person refers to--or is it all of them???
VINTAGE1The vehicle was not a vintage car, apparently; perhaps the driver was feeling "vintage" when he or she applied for the plate...
VIXENHmmmh! Got to wonder if this is a fan of the '80s vintage all girl metal rock band (i.e., Jan Kuehnemund and company--VIXEN put out some great music!)--er...or someone it might be worth getting to know???
WARHORSENeat plate! Also cross-referenced under "Military" and "Vehicles"
WHTBOX? Not sure why it matters, which box...
WHEEWHEE This is a WEIRD one. I'm assuming, given the "H" after "W," that this is referring to laughter of some sort, or excitement from an amusement park ride --or maybe it's a play on the GEICO commercial with that incredibly annoying pig "...did the little piggy say 'whee whee whee' all the way home?" I think it's unlikely to be the humorous reference to feminine toiletry (Number 1)...
WHTALADY A self-confident female individual, or some dude reveling over his girlfriend?
WHIT-10Uncertain...
WILDFISHHmmmmh...as opposed to a tamw fish? This entry might actually belong in the sport category, if the reference is associated with sport fishing....
WILDFIRE This could be a lot of things, but I'm making the assumption that the owner is referring to his/her own character...
WIRED Great plate!
WHT-NUPE Odd! WHT for "What" most likely, but NUPE? WHAT-NUPE? What am I missing?...
WOOZ-BOO I'm really curious what the idea might be behind this one!
WWGEDDIE Interesting. Is this an alternate of Jedi? Or, perhaps merely initials and a name? Some reference to the band RUSH's bass player, Geddy Lee? Only the driver knows!...
YEHOYADA Wonder if this is related to the old "yada, yada, yada" expression?
YNGPHILYA young horse fan? In southwestern slang, a "filly" can be a girl (actually it's a young, female horse)--but "filly" may already have been taken by someone, so PHILY was an option. Or, maybe this person happens to be young and from Philadelphia?
X QUIZIT Cleverly presented!
ZIP DRVA computer geek?
