South Carolina plate: N S B S T 2 T. (I inserted spaces.)

What could it mean?

First off, all people who get personalized plates are egocentric and/or gay. No big deal to me and it is fun to decide what the intent is.

This one I'd be going with "No Shyte Butt Sniffer Talk Too you on Tuesday". Then again, being from SC it could mean "North/South Carolina Belongs Sovereign Statehood. Taa taa too you till Tues".

I dunno, just joking really and no offense intended.

Add narcissistic to that and I'm all in.
They are in love with themselves.

Mr E, I can't resist. I'll go with the narcissist part too. But a true story from my old world is my friends all got together and made a license plate for me after I got a DUI in 1997.

Looked like the real deal, only just paper. MI plate which said "IMDUI" that my CAD pal gizmoed to perfection. Obviously I did not go in that direction, but we all got lots of laughs over it. They all think as cynical as me (and seems you too....lol). We had a good bon fire that night, including my personalized "plate" ...;-)

My truck carries the plate SURV3Y

The plate surround has company website and phone number

Its a cheap one-off cost advertising that keeps on getting business

I'm not gay. I don't think I'm too narcissistic - but I'll let you guys decide on that

I heard once, somewhere, "once in awhile doesn't make you gay, just curious."

I ain't gonna quit you.

Seein' as how I ain't gay, I must have been egocentric once upon a time.

When we first could buy such things I was able to get one that said CAR TAG. We still added a county designation on our plates with a little sticker in the upper right hand corner. Our designation was NO. This lead to some interesting discussions with convenience store clerks when I used my American Express card (before I cut it up) to buy gas. They always wanted to put the vehicle license plate number, including county, on the credit card receipt. In my case, that read: NO CAR TAG.

First off, people who make sweeping generalizations are egocentric and/or in the closet.

Just kidding, no offense intended.

BAMAUA

I always wanted my wife to get custom plate BAMAUA, referencing the BA and MA she got at the University of Arizona. She wouldn't do it; waste of money, she said.

For years I had COGO1, referencing my COGO programs.

HRUDUDU

Fans of the classic book, Watership Down, will recognize the rabbits' term for a car.

The author created a fairly extensive vocabulary for his rabbits to use. The term "hrududu" is frequently called out as a warning to other rabbits anywhere near a road or lane to warn them of the pending arrival of a car, truck or tractor.

My favorite phrase in the book is: Silflay hraka! U embleer rah!

HRUDUDU

[sarcasm]Amazing what one can learn on this site.[/sarcasm]

I'm not sure I'll remember all that the next time I need to cuss out a rabbit.

Our State Association once explored the option of getting a custom car tag with our state logo in it, and we could get our surveyor's license number on it. I thought it was a cool idea, but the number required was too much for our association.

I had once contemplated getting one with my RLS number on it, but now that I own my own shop, I need commercial tags since I have company signs on the truck.
