With all the German cars around the state, you can’t get away with anything questionable in that language, and nothing in Spanish either. Knowing that, I tried French: MRDALOR.
Merde Alors! Accepted!

For a first-time vanity plate, I considered “XLR8”… but I drive a 2021 Venza, so that wouldn’t have worked.
BTW: At work there was one gal whose vanity plate ended up in one of the car magazines. “G8TUSH”. Something that was very much the case.
I tried to get one that said
KHAAAN
but it was already taken.

It sounds like that kid needs to learn to do public records requests so they can get more data.

Fwiw, TRDFURY was in all likelihood referring to Toyota Racing Development, not “Turd”.
When i had my fiat abarth convertible, i was shocked that my custom license plate went through - TOPL355. It was a nod to the ad campaign when the car was released “now topless!”
Fondly remember seeing quite a few people laugh when they pulled up behind me, after they worked it out.

Fellow old fogies might get a smile from the plates Lawrence Welk had on his two cars. He always parked them side by side so they read AONE and ATWO.

Saw these in my area.
No idea what “Dirty Box” means. I’m guessing it’s a Scarlet Letter type of announcement.

Someone in Massachusetts has PIZDETS as their vanity plate (common Russian curse word.)
Quick search brought up a Maryland plate with the same. Seems like you could get away with some words that use the same letters in both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets.

I pulled up next to the NAZ111 car to see who was driving and it appeared to be a little old Hispanic lady which only added to my confusion. Not sure how the DMV let that one slide.
